Here we go again with the comparisons and justifications.

If you bought a manual bc your concerned with image, you're stupid and insecure. If you have a 7at and feel the need to justify your purchase over a manual by constantly making comparisons to dct, 1/4 mile times, etc, you're equally as stupid and insecure.

No one cares. Enjoy the car

Jordo!

This is my whole point: When you aren't arguing performance or feel, but rather social perception of "good/right" "bad/wrong", we're into territory that has nothing to do with cars... True enough, but no one is publicly (and not really in a tongue-in-cheek way) telling anyone they're a huge wuss making an unforgivable mistake for buying the MT. So what you're saying is, people who get publicly lambasted should just deal with it -- after all, what do they expect for openly admitting to such an embarrassingly terrible and unmanly choice?

And clearly people care. A lot. There wouldn't be a new thread every 15 minutes if no one did.

Here's an idea: When someone posts a thread on "which should I get?", the default recommendation could be "Test drive both and choose the one that you prefer" (where have I heard that before?).

Any follow-up response by the OP after "just test drive 'em" is almost certainly going be a plea for social approval... and then we're back to this whole thing.

I'm pretty convinced this issue simply won't die until there just aren't any sports/sporty new cars equipped with three pedals, and then people will look back on this whole debate as quaint and or silly.

On another note, tonight I watched the director's cut of Night Breed -- no CGI, all physical special effects.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the old school physical special effects -- even the cheesy ones -- over the modern computer generated ones. They feel visceral and real. Not so polished and plastic. They require real hands-on control and inventiveness and a genuine passion for the art of making special effects come to life. To me, CGI is a relatively cold, and artless process, where a computer interpolates data points from a few specific inputs.

Should I just shut the hell up and be glad Gollum is not a guy in a rubber suit? Am i making a big stink out of something silly, glorifying something antiquated? Does it matter? Are cool movies with neat effects still happening or has the digital revolution ruined these personal expressions of a man and his vision, created with his own hands?

Totally unrelated? Not so much to me. Same fukin' argument, different hat.
