I have to admit driving in heavy traffic an automatic is real nice. Since I avoid heavy traffic as much as possible I can handle it.
On the road trip coming into Arlington, Virginia there was some dude having a real bad day. He was pulling a U-Haul trailer and it looks like it started fishtailing and it threw him off the road. The trailer was smashed and the SUV was beat up but I think they were OK.One lane was blocked and all the traffic had to funnel to one lane and 5 MPH so the lookie loos could look at the wreck and they inched by.
It took us 45 minutes to get through that and it was move a few feet and stop the entire time. It was a pain to have a 5 speed then, but a million times better than sitting in any minivan with an automatic.
