Confessions of a 7AT Driver

Some people just like to be a cry baby about everything. Never satisfied.

I like the 7at in the G37/370Z a lot as far your torque converter autos go. But I just don't know how to have fun in an auto. When I take a corner, I like the whole clutch/2nd gear procedure.

Real men drive cars with manual transmissions. Real men understand that cars need three pedals, otherwise the vehicle is nothing more than a fancy golf cart. Men understand that driving is a skill, and that the best way to master this skill is to maintain absolute control of all aspects of a car at all times. If you think it’s better to let the car tell you what to do, you may as well turn in your testicles so that they don’t get in the way of your marathon sessions of watching The View.

And this...this was truly hilarious. Thank you.

Confession: My AT will still throw down with the guys that smirk at me in traffic.

thats not because of the car. it's due to the fact that you cant see over the steering wheel

Jesus Christ. This is still going on? Drive what makes you happy. It's your ******* money. I love my 6mt. The people who bought the 7at seem to love it too. Unless someone wants to make your payments for you, they can kindly **** right off with their opinion.

Still, your only stipulation was "that aren't boosted".

Can't change the rules after you've been beat!
