Dealing with 18 gears every work day during the week, especially in heavy metro traffic, time has come to take advantage of technology and move on. No more clutches, no more playing the shifting game.
Interesting how things play out. In Europe, folks like manuals in their cars and the majority of commercial trucks have automated transmissions. In the U.S., most autos and pickups have automatics and the commercial trucks are primarily manuals. Talk about role reversals!
Thanks for delivering the goods!
