Was getting gas earlier today and saw the two kids (in their early 20's im guessing) both checking out my car (pontiac G8).
I get in to pull away and my sun roofs open so i can here them and as i pull away i hear him say " Its an automatic, thats hilarious"

The car only comes in automatic? There isn't a manual option except the GXP's and thats only like half of those...
So jokes on them? Or me for not having a manual?

Not really sure what to think of this lol

I'd have asked them if they knew how an automatic transmission even worked.

What were they driving?

Looks like they hit a sore spot? lol
I wouldn't worry about it. Do you like the car? If so don't let it bother you.
I've only ever driven manual cars, but I can respect an auto in drag situations. Hard to match a slushbox with a proper stall and power behind it. Trans brake ftw.
They really should have thrown a t56 in those cars though. Would have made them a lot more appealing to a lot more people.

Its not so much that i cared about their opinion, i just found it unusual... like of all the things to comment on....
Plus i figured it would make for an interesting topic, if it displeases you, don't post.

Sore spot? Not really I couldn't care less about driving a manual, the sports shift does good enough for me
