I just realized something. There are many people, some on this board that work on cars or own a shop for a living. A considerable amount of thier business is to people who drive auto's.
So if you discourage those people from doing things with thier cars, including regular maintenance as well as installations, you pretty much discourage some business don't you.
That's why I don't criticise so quickly.

Automatic transmissions are too complicated for me.

Like if I stopped on a hill which I have to to pull into my driveway, the car wouldn't have enough traction to start moving again. So I had to roll all the way back down with my flashers on and have my friend make sure no one was coming so I could pull straight into my driveway without stopping on the hill.

It is pretty useful in my car. It like transfers the energy from the engine to like the wheels so my car moves.
