I drive an automatic V6.
I can drive a manual anytime I want. However, my car is my DD, and I drive a good 100 miles a day, 80 or so on the highway and 20 in town. I bought a 2LT/RS because it's what I wanted, before I drove a big 1500 Sierra (more manly than any SS/1LE/ZL1 IMO), and the whole 'derp just a v6' 'only menly mans drive teh manuals!' is extremely childish. ESPECIALLY coming from older men on this website. This is an Internet forum, if we wanna all be honest here, no one is really impressing anyone with their car. Some of the modding is quite impressive, but the fact of what you drive, you have to look down on others? Some people really, really need to get a life.
Methinks it's insecurity. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the sound of a V8 engine. I love the power, I love the speed. But looking down on others and making fun of someone because they don't drive a faster car than you? Considering yours isn't even near the fastest thing on the road, well...that's just downright douchey.
Also, I just skimmed the thread, and this is the gist I got of it. I like this community a lot, but some of the attitudes around here are just lame.
