<p>[QUOTE="Bean Jr., post: 11936661, member: 140672"]The first time I drove a 4+4, I went across all four lanes of the road I was on, plus the turn lane! Now, shifting is as automatic as chewing gum. There is no thinking about it. But I'll be honest, drivers are surfing the web while driving. They are not paying attention, and it seems the less they have to do while driving, the less they are capable of doing. How many times have we seen a video of a guy hitting a car or truck, or G-d forbid, a person in the breakdown lane because they couldn't even pay enough attention to stay in the lane. As easy as shifting is, it makes you pay attention, and when you do, you pay attention to everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
