Default I'm in 2nd worst traffic city in US, I got in accident, and I'm driving an automatic and want to

shoot myself. How do you people do it. Driving an automatic is about the most boring thing in the world, you just step on the gas, that's it. I can't wait to get my manual back.

Default manual more fun than automatic

I agree- plus if you learn manual well enough not only is it more fun and smooth, it helps keep your mind focused on driving and not daydreaming. Plus Audi makes one of the best manual gearboxes in the world and the big fat ball shifter looks mighty pimping. I call it the eight ball.

Default No really, I literally hate being in the drivers seat if it's auto, driving becomes a chore then.

Plus, you get sleepy easily in a automatic.

Default Which should I date, blondes, brunettes, or redheads?

I have always preferred blondes, but I don't want to be wrong on this, so I await your word.

Default Dealer Says March/April. But I've heard elsewhere May.

Also, I drive a tip S4 and I don't find it boring at all.

Default

As long as you don't drive them around in an automatic, it's your choice, or better yet all 3.
