Pity, you seem to be pretty good at it.
And your right Bruce some of us are little bit vocal in defending our choice of nonmanual transmissions, mainly because a certain segment of manual transmissions users insist in resenting and often demeaning our choice (I believe I was just refered to as a poodle in this thread). They seem to be deeply insecure that not everyone enjoys the same aspects of driving that they do. Everytime someone posts something about the CVT or future CVTs instead of just discussing the issue at hand, or just ignoring it, someone has to pipe in that CVTs aren't for "true" drivers, or should never be allowed on a "true" performance car or whatever. It gets pretty tiresome frankly.
