hey, while i don't share your desire for auto trannys, i can understand your point of view. i just think that there's something wrong when you can't find a manual trany in a sports car without ordering one.
and to be honest, i don't even think about operating the clutch in traffic. it's so second nature now that i do it without realizing it, in my eyes it isn't any more work than an auto would be. and i do drive home in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
then again, i use a hands-free system for the rare times when i use a cellphone when driving, and i've got an ipod which i always set before i leave the parking lot for music. i guess i'm just more interested in driving than playing with stuff in my car.
hence the switch from an economy car to a roadster.
