Wow. This thread is simply amazing.

I can't imagine not wanting to drive a stick! My SRT-6 is the first car I've ever owned that wasn't a stick, and I was VERY hesitant to buy it because of that. If I could wave a magic wand and make it a stick, I would.

You say that driving in heavy traffic is why you want an automatic?!? You're kidding right? Unless you're driving 100 miles a day into Pittsburgh, there isn't anything even remotely close to rush hour traffic in your area. I've been all over that area Altoona / Port Matilda / Bellefont / State College and the closest any of that comes to real traffic is in State College on a home game day for Penn State. The game day traffic is pretty ridiculous, I'll give it that. So don't go to State College on Saturdays in the fall, and keep your car!
