What an absolutely pathetic excuse for a "news article". Paul Hockenos' error plagued POS is made so much worse by his pathetic attempt to link the joy of driving with overdone machismo. Why do you take umbrage to something many of us enjoy? What harm is it doing you? Don't say manual transmissions are a detriment to the environment. As others have stated, they almost ALWAYS have better MPG ratings than their automatic siblings. Not certain what career path you should take but this isn't it!
