I don't really fit well into any of the categories. I think the auto-matic might be the best fit, except the car I drive is hardly "distinctly styled," "attention-getting," "trendy" and "extravagant" (unless to consider the rust spots on my 1995 Opel Astra "attention-getting" and the Diet Coke cans scattered about "extravagant.")
I'm on the real Autobahn a lot more often than the Auto-bahner-wanna-be's, though. It's nice being able to "make good time" without worring about tickets, but after the first hour the first time it's no big deal. It's still kind of cool seeing the occasional Mercedes fly past at warp speed, though.
I was on the Autostrada somewhere north of Firenze with the gas pedal mashed to the floor and getting ready to speedshift into fourth when a Jaguar starship passed doing about 100 mph faster than my VW van like we were going the wrong way. Almost missed the shift, which would have cost ten minutes of progress toward high gear.
