What do you expect? The only work you have to do is keep the car straight and work the throttle, you don't have to think about anything else other than not crashing.
Also do your friends live in an old folks home? It seems to me most of the complains about a stick shift manual is that it's not good for a society that worships McDonalds and being physically inactive (of course with this disregarding the people with actual disabilities who have an excuse).
If you bought an Auto you likely bought it because:
1. You are to lazy to operate a clutch in busy traffic.
2. You bought the car because it looked cool (Why I bought my Auto Camaro SS) and as a daily driver.
3. You have an actual physical disability that prevents you from being able to use a clutch or causes serious pain if you do use one.
4. You bought it because Autos are more consistent on a drag strip.
If you bought a Manual you likely did so because:
1. You enjoy a challenge when you're driving and you want to be a part of the car.
2. You don't care about how consistent an automatic is because You like to be the one putting up the impressive times, not the Car.
3. You're not a little bi**h that whines about a little leg cramp after a few hours of high traffic driving. (This one is purely opinion).
To the OP and Everyone please stop making these god Damn threads. If it's not a Auto Manual argument it's a V6 V8 argument...
