Well I have three vehicles and they are all manuals. So One can guess what my opinion is. If one has to drive regularly in rush hour traffic then manuals can be a drag. On certain vehicle types I prefer an automatic but a Mustang isn’t one of them.

Everyone, and everything. Time itself. Death. The sunrise/sunset.

Try that in a manual!

Until it rains, or it snows, or the road surface is a little rough, or it's icy, or it's too cold out, or there's just a little oil/sand/a single ill-placed leaf...
The only thing I race is my GPS ETA.... the other day it said 2 hours up to Mt Wilson... I made it in 1.5... 🏁 chicken dinner

The traffic argument is trivial with these newer mustangs. Easiest manuals ever. My wife's Honda puts me to sleep but I don't think it's just the auto transmission. Civic SI also had me opening junk mail while waiting for 2nd gear to rev out.

Sums up a fair amount of my actual day...

Is your job similar to a drive-thru window because you have people asking questions all day interrupting your wendy's frosty chill time? otherwise, I cannot agree.

Engineering.... I work in broadcast... so I make sure the station is there when you turn your radio on. ( I have no say over content! Just make it work)
Neat.

I worked at a town govt office for about 3 days. I think someone called once to ask why their TV was set on Spanish. So the office explained the SAP function to a constituent. I imagine you must get some interesting questions if people think your IT

Funny, that's what I do as well. I make sure the clients have access, and am in charge of all the moving parts that make it happen behind the scenes.
Dam that’s crazy...

I handle the FM transmitter sites and all that BS that comes along with it and am the default CAT6 & CoAxel cable guy... because the other guys cable management sucks.. and I oddly find peace in it.

Now that everyone is coming back to the office, I am trying to spend as much time at the transmitter sites as possible 😁

Had plenty of manuals in the past. My 2016 GT was a manual. All fun. Then the 10spd came out and I test drove one. WOW. Next thing I knew I was buying an automatic. Plus, my knee hurts when I have to move it too much while driving, so after seeing how great the 10spd was it was a no brainer.
