I watch the car shows on tv. I can’t understand why every car they build has an automatic trans! Why?

While there might have been a time when stick shifts made sense (better mileage for example) today's automatics are just as good in every way.

Life's too short for stick shifts.How can I possibly text with a stick?

I live in the mountains. Lots of sharp turns, ups and downs...lots of shifting. When I developed a callus on my left “cheek” from clutching, I traded for an automatic.

LOL! But how can I goof around double-clutching with an automatic. I'm too old to just take that away!

I find it hard to read a newspaper with a manual transmission.
