Yeah! You tell them... I've NEVER missed a shift when it
was 'important'!! Now, a coffee mug in one hand, cell phone in the
other, rush hour traffic... THAT's another story.
I'm 'pro-choice-shift'.... To shift or not to shift... That is the
question... HA HA... (sorry it's late!)
All of the 'hot rods' I have driven, have always been manual
transmission'd vehicles, so I have gotten pretty comfortable with them.
But, in all honesty, I sometimes miss the auto... When I'm
tired, and just want to get home, you know what I mean.. Can't do it
with a 5 spd... It's easy, but still takes a 'little' thought. I didn't
buy
my truck to race, I bought it to drive for work, haul my motorcycle to
wherever I wanted to go, etc. The towing with the 5 spd is 100%
better than with an auto, in my book.
