I can't explain why, but I just really dislike performance oriented cars with an auto trans. I just feel as if somethings missing. There's just some sort of sweet feeling when you get used to your manual trans, like I feel more connected to the car. With an auto I feel like it's just a tool to get from point A to point B, like it has no soul. I don't know why I feel this way, I just do.

With that being said my truck is an auto, and always will be. The thought of towing my 16k pound trailer with a stick just doesn't sound fun.
