You could be right Doc.

After Eurocharged reworked my engine I found I didn't really need fifth gear. So I put it up onEbay but got no bids.
Amazing 'cause it's still in the box.

Automatics today are not the fragile, tender and finicky slushboxes of the fifties and sixties. Nor are they the lightweight emergency solutions to fledgling front wheel drive systems from the eighties and nineties

The auto stick in Crumpy's minivan is a silly bit of worthless machinery with a pretentious label on the dash board. The auto stick in her SRT is awesome!

This from a guy who hates automatics.
