Pissing contests... okay, as you wish.

Typographical error. I edited a few that I caught, and I must have missed that one.

For those without the paddles:

I use it only 50/50 anymore.

Have the up-down for gear changes swapped (e.g., up to down shift), get an uprev tune to speed and firm them up, get a snazzy boot so...

This is usually the point in the exchange where someone gets a sharpened toothbrush handle out from their hiding spot.

And so it goes.

At least the tarring and feathering of the heretics around here (including me :tiphat: ) seems to have petered out.

That said, I have no idea...

If a TC impelled AT performs as well as a standard MT (in the hands of a competent driver) in terms...
