This article caused me and my husband to have an argument about what an automatic gear shift even looks like.

I like my 5 speed. I learned to drive standards when I was in Spain, and stayed with it ever since. I don’t know about now, but in the 80’s, Europe had not embraced the use of automatics.

My mom would start singing to my dad during and argument. He would promptly throw up his hands and go into the other room after that because he knew he just lost the argument.

I can tell you that as of six months ago, it's virtually impossible to rent an automatic in Italy.
