      I can't imagine having fun in an automatic, it just doesn't make sense to me.

        Before your time? A little too advanced for the elderly?

          Paddle shifters make up for autotragic. That was some solid free fun. I'd buy one.

            The only auto I'll drive is in an electric car, I've been lost since they stopped doing transmissions like the Model T's of my youth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mo...nd_drive_train

              1. How do you even know how to use a computer, let alone the Internet.

              2. You are dead to me when you said you would buy an electric car.

                FYI the Model T used a planetary gearset which is more akin to today's modern automatic gearbox than anything else.

                Sooo... Yeah.

                  Sounds and looks like a good time! How fast did you get it going in the Auto X track? How many runs did they let you have?

                    1. I'm a web developer for one of the most highly trafficked websites in the world, I am the internet.

                    2. The Tesla Model S is amazing and to kid yourself otherwise just goes to prove that you kids today need to listen to your elders (and stay off our lawns).

                    Just reading how it works scares me.

                        You can't see this, but I'm swinging my walker through the air in excitement. A tennis ball just came off and hit an intern in the head.

                              I wish I could be as excited as last time but I've fallen and I can't get up. The interns have also learned their lesson and won't come near me. If you're near downtown come save me.
