I know having that extra peddle and all that extra "work" to do with a manual transmission is probably more than your tiny "standard" brains can comprehend. Luckily, the people at MonkeySee have put together an instructional video series to help you overcome your fears and learn how to drive a manual. http://www.monkeysee.com/play/6260-h...ansmission-car. Lucky for you L99 drivers, they also have some training videos on: how to change a tire, how to change a windshield wiper, how to fill up with gas and many, many more.

I also want to point out that there are many reasons why you might want to drive an automatic, besides just your small brain capacity:

1. You are missing your left leg.
2. You are missing your right arm.
3. You lack any and all coordination to be able to do two things at once.
4. You need that free hand for "other" things while you're driving.
5. Your right hand is tired from your "date" last night.
6. You are used to "reduced output" as Wikipedia notes about the L99 engine.

Whatever the case may be, we just want you to know that we still love you just the same. We understand the extra care and patting on the back that you require.

Oh no.............. Pete............ not you....................stung?

Ok, see, but my point is that we DO know how to and DO drive manual transmition vehicles.

We just don't broadcast it.

And the 'How to fill up with gas' vid will have to go to Chris.

Just sayin'

Hey, a power lifter can lift more than a normal person.

Sure, it's only because he trained to be able to do so. But.........it is what it is.

So, after my upcoming goodies, I'll have no problem beating a stock M6 wether it's do to the mods or not, I still will beat him.

Don't forget the other lists...

43 of the 72 cars below are the A6. That equates to 59.7% of the cars on the lists below as being the A6. Not to shabby for a slush box.

Maybe it's because they don't have to worry about "gripping it and ripping it" and missing gears in the process.
