Sometimes I'm stuck in a dump truck at work and by the end of the day I just don't feel like shifting anymore - especially when I'm eating McD's while driving on those ultra late and long hour days where I can't wait to make it home to eat but want to get home as quick as possible since its late and take a shower and relax, lol. Stick sucks real big time for trying to eat and drive. Auto is more comfortable for everyday driving (what I bought the car for) but admittedly I only drive with the tapshift anymore and put it in full auto when I'm eating behind the wheel (which I do try to avoid at all costs). I think auto with the tapshift is the best compromise. If I had bought a v8 that was specifically for a weekend play toy I might consider a manual for raw fun-factor but that would never happen since I buy a vehicle because I want to enjoy it everyday as a daily driver and I'm not the type of person to just drive and burn up gas for no reason - I rarely just go for a joy drive without some purpose behind it (shopping, errands, etc.)
