I wish I had a manual transmission in my car!! I hate when I'm getting on the freeway or hitting a turn way too fast and automatic shifts up and then my engine goes to 1.5k rpm when I need 3.5k
Not bad for a #2 driver

You gotta drive manual. Auto's are just lazy!
Does it matter how heavy a car is for the clutch?
My Evo had a double plated ceramic clutch. That was a nightmare in traffic
The trouble was that with that clutch it needed to be above 3000 rpm or it would stall. There was not slipping of the clutch either, it was off or on. traffic was Engine revving at 3k drop the clutch, foot back on the clutch after you had hit about 20mph in about 2 meters.
outcome after half hour of sitting in traffic. Whiplash, deaf, and 1000's of miles taken from the life of the clutch
