Why didn't they add a capless gas cap?

"Will keep you from running out of talent in the corner"- care to elaborate? Last I checked, it takes more talent and skill to properly corner an MT car. Having the auto just makes it easier because it eliminates two "manual" variables". This all of a sudden gives an AT driver endless talent I suppose.

I also love the little stab at the end from this acclaimed "racing buddy" of yours. I've driven both, and yet I still own a manual. In my personal opinion, the auto doesn't give me the driving pleasure a manual does. Yes I sacrifice tenths of a second on the 1/4mile, but I gain unlimited satisfaction. Guess I have a little stick. I'll take that over a wannabe performance auto, also found in your nearest G/M/FX models.
