You think f1 drivers are fucking around with a clutch? Get off your horse and realize everyone and their half siblings have moved on. This is from a crusty guy who taught many a fine lady how to drive the ol stick shift. That was such a great pickup line.

But if you can get one for a normal price, it’s kinda fine if you value convenience over control. But I’ll probably not try an auto until my old golf dies.
