I like the control a manual gives you, but at the same time, I can sympathize with people that have to deal with traffic....
If I had to push that hard clutch in about 400 times in 2 minutes, I would not be happy....

I would HATE to be caught in Bay Area traffic with a manual day after day after day after day.
However for a weekend car, manual all the way.

I forgot to mention that I put an intake, exhaust, wheels and springs on my Civic. My engine breaths a little better, the car looks better with the wheels on it, and corners better because of the springs and strut bars, so the mods I did on it weren't pointless. This car was the first thing I've done mods on and I chose to do it as a learning experience.
I think people should modify their cars if it makes them happy, and we shouldn't discourage them since that doesn't help anything.

Automatic For Life
My civic is auto, I dont think there is anything wrong with doing up an automatic, Some people dont want the hassle of driving standard all the time, yes i agree it is more fun for the most part but it is a pain in the ass to drive standard in heavy traffic

If automatic is for pussies then call me one big vagina. I don't drive an auto but I started to appreciate them more after I spent the entire summer driving in stop and go traffic.
