Hay guys, I've been some sort of super-human bionic driver since I was like 16 -- but now that I've been awesome for so long -- I forgot how to be normal. Sup with that?
It has to do with the cougar in your passenger seat. It's so awesome, it's making you look less awesome

How the HELL do you find it difficult to drive an A/T? It's a car. The gas is on the right, the brake is on the left. You steer with your hands. And generally try to keep it within the white lines.

If you can't drive an automatic, you shouldn't be driving at all.
first. it's just a personal preference, all i'm saying is are there anyone else who feels the same. i wasn't asking for sarcasm. u people need to cool off.

second. i didn't say i cannot drive a A/T, i was accentuating that stick shift provides more control over the car in a reductio argument.


and who the hell are you to tell me not to drive at all?!

To be honest, I've had a difficult time going back to driving the Element now that I've been using the paddle/toggles on the 355. However, if my old ass can hang, I think the OPs can too.

Not trying to be mean, but that is ridiculous. If you don't know how to maneuver a car, stay off the road. Whether is an auto or stick, there is still the same steering wheel that turns the car, gas and brakes.

edit: I would understand if you're coming from manual car to like an automatic semi freight truck.
obviously you still don't understand the point of this post, i won't argue with someone who cannot understand a redutio argument or see the assumption underneath a statement. but again, i restated my view in a very straight forward form , unfortunately you still have problems interpreting it. it's almost as difficult as explaining "1+1=2 " to a fool, yet a fool might even understand it.

it's a waste of time to argue with you further since your words reflect you have a great amount of difficulties in interpretation.

I'll answer your question. No, I don't feel the sense of losing control when I'm driving an automatic car.
