So I had a bit of an 'incident' with my bloved Honda CR-V a few weeks ago. The clutch basically decided to screw with the gear box and poped a linkage in the engine. I am not very car minded, so it could just be what the mechanics tell you so they can charge $1500 to fix it.
Anyway I got a loaner CR-v (Luckily not one of the new ones which are butt ugly and look like a nightmare to reverse park.)
Thing is the loaner was an automatic. Nice relaxing drive to work, but a couple of times I had the feeling that the car was not really under my control. As a Manual driver I will often change down early and use engine braking to control speed.
Can't do that in a Auto.
It is very easy to become a bad driver in a Auto. I wonder if they do Camrys in manual?? Nah, must all be autos..
(Ha ha interesting note that the spell checker wants to change Camrys to aneurysm - is that a sign?)
