“It’s something like this: Start out in first, accelerate to 10 mph. Shift into second”

That leaves out the part when you’re stopped on a steep hill and there’s a car behind you.

I’ve heard that today’s automatic transmissions are more efficient than manual ones. Don’t some of them have 8 speeds?

I was just reading reviews on the new Bronco. You can get it in manual or a 10 speed automatic.

On another page there was an article about an electric(?) Ferrari(?) I think. To save weight there is no reverse! Seriously. (It appeared to be a street legal race car, but still - no reverse?)
