 Not the point, at least the auto driver COULD drive with both hands on
 the wheel if he wanted to be ultra safe. A 5 spd means you HAVE to take
 a hand off the wheel, and quite often at that.

 With the auto, at least you choose to take a hand off the wheel.

Come on guys enough is enough, if it gets you down the track or around town
thats all that matters. To each his own, after driving a 5 speed for 12 years
i'm glad to have an automatic.
