[Shotimes] FW: OT Only 6 percent of all autos will be built with a clutch by 2012

[Carl Prochilo]

Serious subject, yet funny.  After you are done reading the article, take
the poll and then get a surprise.  Then for the real entertainment, read
the comments posted by people.  This is one of my favorites.

Subject: Stick_or_auto
Comments: Stick shift provides more control of driving situations.Have
been driving Alfa Romeos for 38 years.(best car on earth)Last time I drove
an automatic(my Sisters in Canton Township)I felt like I was drifting in
space.I'm up and down the Autobahns here in Germany every day and need
that extra safety margin which I feel stick shift provides.By the way the
fatality rate here in germany is 50% lower the in the USA,even with no
speed limits on the Autobahn.90% of cars sold have stick shift and
excellent suspension,handling and braking,plus the Germans are rude as
Hell but they know how to drive.No eating a Big Mac,phoning,doing their
nails,and drinking cola while driving.
