Auto/Manual?
Whichever I had, there would be times I wished for the other.
Manuals most of my 36 years with a license. And before.
Including all kinds up to 18 speeds in trucks.
I can do thing with a manual you just can't do with an automatic.
Using the clutch let's you rock better than an auto any day.
Every once in awhile you might just want wide open in a year
without shifting. Or lugging without a shift.
Sure, new autos look like you can manually shift them.
Try getting it to lug down, or try to bump the governor.
Get back to me if you can.
Or, try to start in 3rd on ice..
You might get to use. 2nd.
But in the newer ones, 2nd is still pretty low.
An auto is sure nice 99% of the time.
In certain butt puckered steep places.
But once in awhile, a good driver can do better if he has control.
If they ever get DCT figured out for normal vehicles, and give real
manual control, they will rule. 99.7% of the time.😁
