Why Manual Transmissions are superior

It's just like acting and being an actor or actress. There are those of you who would know what can happen if a person tries to *act a certain character* rather than *be a certain character*. There is a significant difference. The person just acting is not very credible and he-she looks out of sync and overall out of place.

Ever heard of the expression, "Don't drive the car, be the car"? Well this is where it comes from.

Drivers in their slush box cars should be banned from the road. Anyone so lazy that they can't shift gears and be in sync with the automobile and the road shouldn't be driving. And for the DMV road test, all drivers need to required to take the test driving a manual transmission car, otherwise they won't be able to test on an automatic.

It's the principle of it. Drivers in their slush box cars are a nuisance on the road, more particularly in hill country.
