Kind of like the High School Football Jock... The best years are probably behind him.
Now, the lifestyle, yes, that's hard.

You have done nothing but bust others for driving autos... LOL
I like and prefer Autos and I do believe they are better... For everything? No, manuals still have a place and a fan base... I'm fine with that...
Stop the name calling and we might actually have a good discussion about the topic.
Or just keep up the name calling and bullying.
(It's actually becoming a rather fun pastime) -

Carriers are saying its for fuel mileage but i'm thinking driver recruitment purposes?Click to expand...
I know it's Volvo and I can't remember the other brand that have switched completely to the auto as standard and manual is special order.
And it's probably a combo of mileage and recruitment.... I know my Volvo iShift is a dream to drive... I hope to never need to be in a manual again.
