Honestly, I'm surprised you'd think you'd like it, since you're nervous making left turns ~anyway~ in traffic, I can't imagine the possibility of slipping up and stalling in the middle of the lane (which happens at some point to everybody) would be something you'd want to add to your driving experience.

Well...yah...you're probably right. I'm know I'm kind of a nervy driver, and adding complexity to the driving experience is probably not a great way to go... Honestly, the one car that has the little buttons for pretend manual shifting is probably more my speed.

I'm just trying to be cheap...but really, I guess with the newer vehicles there isn't even that much of a difference in gas mileage, and automatic transmissions are built better than they used to be. Not as peppy, perhaps...but is peppy really my thing?

So there's that.

Just trying to be think it all out and be practical. ;-)
