Ok, i was about to edit my reply where i didnt sound quite as ticked, since i didnt intend for it to sound that way, but it does piss me off when people bad mouth autos. I do think you could teach a monkey to drive a stick, or an auto, auto would be easier.
And, yeah, i dont consider it an artform, but hey, to each his own. I just dont see a reason to bad mouth either choice, people have their own reasons. I am in the middle of defending the 4.6L motor on my old GM board. I just am not the kind to stand idely by and let something that doesnt deserve to be, be badmouthed, by the ignorant or uninformed. Im glad everyone seems to be on the same wavelength now. Mustangs Rule!
edit - also, im still curious as to which auto my car has? its an 03 GT.
