Did you go with Manual or Auto? Age? - Page 11 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Age 40 -- automatic.

I drove sticks for many years (including trucks) when I was younger, so I don't feel a need to have another one. I'm not racing it, so what's the point?

Besides, the wife would like to be able to drive it once in a while. She didn't so much as blink when I wanted to buy this car, so I figure why not accommodate her as well.

58 here, got auto.. I'm in good shape (no bad knees or hips) Just don't like shifting in heavy traffic anymore, todays automatics are light years ahead of the ones from 35 years ago!!!

I appologize for the tension caused by the question ! It wasn't my intention to get a "war" between the auto/manual fans !

Well, it's ALL your fault!!!

Now it's your job to sort through the thread and compile the actual data into demographics for the rest of us!

Good luck sorting through the nonsense and bickering! It was by no means your fault.
