What grinds your gears?
I hate when people ask if I drive a manual or automatic and I tell them it's an auto. I usually get a response like "You should've went with a manual." or "Why an automatic? They're not as fun." I can't count how many times I've been asked that question and people say stuff similar to that.

I haven't heard that yet, but if I did, I'd hear, "Blah, blah, blah".

I get the same thing on the same topic. I just say, so the wife can drive it. Don't bother me much although I still kinda wish it was a manual.

I've gotten the mid-life crisis crack a couple of times and I'm 54 so I guess I'm in that realm now.... Last one was from a co-worker driving a soulless mini van no less!

Trust me if you use this car as a daily driver, on Long Island NY, you DO NOT want manual.
But what grinds mine the most is the Hellcat |

Have been asked a lot of questions about my car(s); but have never been asked if it's an auto or manual, nor have I ever been asked why I went with an auto over a manual.

- Why did you buy an auto ZL1
- Why did you buy a convertible - Why didn't you buy a ZL1 with the Recaro seats - Why do you speed in Mexico - Why do you put so many miles on your ZL1 - Why do you drive the ZL1 in the rain - V6 guys who hate on the V8 guys for being normal and buying a real Camaro... lol!
