Anyone get sh*t for an auto Z?

I have a 6MT so obviously I haven't caught criticism for driving an auto. But I have caught anti-crap. Let me explain. I got pulled over a few months back. The cop looks at my car and comments on how great it looks. Wants to know how I like it. Turns out he has a 350 himself. Then he says this: "I see it's a stick shift. Good man! It's not one of those pussy automatics! I'm just going to give you a warning if you promise to slow down. Have a good one!"

Now, I don't know that he let me off with a warning specifically because I had a 6MT instead of a 7AT. He may have intended to just give me a warning either way. But he did slam automatic Zs, albeit to a guy who was sitting in a 6MT. *shrug*
