Until I was on this forum I did not relise what a big deal it is.I must be the only one who looked for an AT car.The car has a level 10 built transmission and shifts fast.
Learned to drive 3 on the tree.Drove over the road for years(15 speed).Have 66 Vette with stick.
Do not want to open this debate again.Now days with the modern transmissions if you want to go fast you get AT.You want to have fun you get a stick.

Push in overdrive knob.Back off accelerator.Push accelerator all the way down.Get up to your speed and back off accelerator.Now overdrive is engaged.

What about the foot switch that changed your radio station.
