6 speed manual here on my 350Z.. Currently now that I'm on a business trip to San Diego, I got stuck with a rental with.. you guessed it.. an automatic. I don't know how many times now I've used the left foot to try to push a clutch but find nothing but a brake pedal.. WHIPLASH! People look and laugh..
But it does have the kinda manual thing going on, so I won't be surprised if all my stick shift maniac driving will cost Hertz a 2005 Hyundai Sonata transmission...
Nothing better than being stuck in traffic in the Z.. How stiff the clutch foot gets..
Ah.. I wouldn't trade it for anything. That's the one thing that I actually look for. It just reminds me that I'm actually "driving" the car, not just pointing it in a direction, and steering...that's the feeling I get from an automatic.
I miss my Z... Soon it will be back to 3rd gear burnouts and all that general mayhem...
I learned to drive on a stick, and can't possibly imagine why I would ever need an automatic.. Even if I lost body parts, I'd get a car with paddle shifters or something like that..
