[quote="The Rushquote]I don't think it makes us lucky at all. It separated car from driver, which by extension permits other things to take its place, like cellphones.[/quote]


Sorry ,pal - think something got lost ---was being slightly sarcastic - van maker fits morecup holders-was this to allow van drivers to put cup down whilst phoning ?????.Personally I don't like auto transmission - as in you're reasoning plus more - gear control gives you control on tight bends when you run out of power in higher gears ,and in winter - on icy roads -gears take over from brakes.
