One last confession from me: It's awful when I actually put the car into full auto mode. About half the time coming off a light, I instinctively reach for the shifter (I go about 50/50 between paddles and shifter) to shift up and accidentally drop into neutral. "I hope they think I'm a manual and I just missed that shift..."

Oh god, tell me about it. I thought I toasted my engine when I 'upshifted' into neutral and revved up to near 8000 RPM. I got mad-dogged by some pedestrians.

Ha-ha... I've done that before thinking I'm in manual mode but, I'm in auto mode. I've done it twice in two years.... But, no one was around.
