Manual Transmisson: not Female Friendly?

I've had a couple of cars with manual transmissions since, but I hated them. I'm a multi-tasker and it's really hard to put on makeup, change the radio station, eat lunch and slap at your kids in the backseat while simultaneously changing gears. I prefer an automatic.

That's not multitasking, that's reckless endangerment. Consider this your warning.

Double Post:
I'm looking forward to widespread use of Continuously Variable Transmission. It'll be perfect for the autosissies and even more efficient than manual.

But then again you gearheads will probably hate it because the engine's RPM will hardly change at all while you're driving.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
