I've misshifted in Forza before with the controller paddles (triggers more like it).

Caused me to mess up a turn and lose the race.

I turned it off after that. Didn't want to ruin my Ferrari anymore.

Oh, another confession! When I actually do put it in full auto mode, I really wish the gear selector would still tell me what gear I'm in. This lack of knowledge is fine in my other car, but the Z lets me interrupt full auto and command it to shift. It'd help if I knew my bearings first! Either play it safe and shift down once for a really impotent passing moment (hi fifth gear, I don't need you!), or double-tap and go down further than expected for a "I wasn't revving at you, sorry!" moment. Thankfully, the auto wants to basically get to 6th as soon as it possibly can and stay there, so you can usually assume 6th. (This is part of why I rarely use the auto...I would like to hear my pet purr, thank you.)

Back on topic for the off-topic topic: Most things "car related" will impress and attract attention from guys more than women. Just sayin... It's right up there with video game knowledge/skills.

No really.

TMNT from the 1990s.

This is like the horseless carriage vs horse riding debate that raged for years online back in the late 1800s. If I remember correctly, the manly mountain men agreed that horseless carriages were for "pampered city gals." The horseless carriage guys said horses would be relegated to glue ingredients, but lamented that they had to struggle so much to change the gears.

By the way, I shoot only crossbows and wear only pleather codpieces.

I think it's a bit of a wind up, and it seems to be working, but none the less... carry on.

Oh, I know. I think he's doing a great job. It really is hilarious.

Seriously, no one born in the past 50 years really thinks like that other than maybe Andrew "Dice" Clay. Maybe.
