Considering the 370z again

nothing wrong with Automatics. that's where all manufacturers are heading anyway. in 10 years, there might be no manual cars in production if you ask me

I guess I will be driving 10 year old sport cars then. No way I am touching an automatic in my sports car, in my prius sure but not in my Z.

I don't know how old you are but when you get a little older and your left knee starts aching you'll change your mind.

Unfortunately, that is the sad reality of getting older. Just five years ago I would have called people names if they suggested that I get an automatic. Now, it is the only option I will consider. Funny how your perspective changes when something like sleeping too long causes your body to ache.

I believe a sports car should be driven as a manual. My dad has an automatic SS Camaro. He didn't get an manual because of his age. That being said, whenever I drove it and people would ask "Is that a manual"? You could just feel the judgement when they would respond "Oh" after I told them it was not. I would then have to justify why it was an auto. I hated that feeling so it's always gonna be manual for me. Nothing against the auto guys. Still a great car, just how I feel about it!

However when I get older, I will switch over to auto. Gotta save those knees!
