What is a "slushbox" car owner? AT or stick, I'm still driving a vette, that's what really counts. IMHO of course.

A euphemistic term for a transmission that shifts for itself.

I'm sure a lot of folks think the same as you. Why else would there be so few replies?

I will say that I find that cars with a lot of torque and horsepower are more fun to drive on the streets... at least to me....For everyday driving.

Plus I like to drive on twisties and that......

Wait...I am fooling myself. There is nothing like downshifting into a turn feeling the G force and slingshotting yourself into a straight away....F*CK....How much is it to do a 5 speed swap on an AT!!!!

I love and missing driving a manual so much that I drive automatics with my hand on the shifter anyway...and a lot of times I shift it manually with the auto tranny....sigh
