Stick or autopilot.

[Denmark]

I think anyone who deliberately makes a mundane task more difficult for themselves is mentally deficiant and they should be taken out back Old Yeller style.

Everyone should drive automatics. But only until something more efficient and easy comes along.

Firstly, it's spelled deficient.

Secondly, would you mind explaining to me how exactly automatic transmissions are more efficient than manuals? Or at least explain to me your strange world wherein ease = efficiency.

Unfortunately when I was growing up and learning to drive, the only cars available for me to learn on had automatic transmissions. I would like to learn how to drive a car with a manual transmission. And as has been stated previously in the thread, I'm certain it becomes second nature. For the time being, however, I will stick with what I have because my options are quite limited.
