kind of see my point here
nothing against auto owners, different strokes for different folks but i personally just dont see the point in getting an automatic just to shift it like a manual and play pretend all the time(this only applies to people who keep their automatic in M mode 24/7)
what is this work you speak of?
I dont have to work to drive my car around, imo its just as easy as driving an auto

It's really not just as easy. There's a clutch pedal. The point of getting an auto and putting it in M-mode 24/7 is you get the driving benefits of a manual (being able to select the correct gear, which a normal auto in Drive never gets right for performance driving), but you don't have to be a heel-toe wizard to get smooth shifts. SRM on our 6MTs negates the heel-toe thing anyways, but still - why have one more pedal to worry about operating delicately to get the same result?

See, it's comments like these that turn this from a friendly debate into a "**** you you're not like me" sort of war.
