Automatic or Manual Transmission?
It's a tough choice to decide which to go with, an automatic or manual transmission when buying a new Corvette. I posted a video on my YouTube channel Ozzstar to get folks thinking about what they may or may not want. It's an agonizing decision sometimes. Have a great weekend everyone and get out there and drive like you stole it!! -Ozz

I was joking with a friend a week ago about the uptick in car jackings by wayward yutes in my town. I said well, I'm good because these kids today can't drive or know what a manual transmission is.
Yesterday a guy in my area of town gets jacked at his house, pistol whipped. They were gonna steal his car, but oops. It has a millennial anti theft device - manual trans.

I used to be a manual only guy, my previous C6 was a manual...since I daily drive my Corvette I decided to try an automatic this time around. I got an A8 C7 Stingray, and actually love it...I enjoy the paddle shifters, and when I'm feeling lazy in stop and go traffic, I just run it in full auto. Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as my old manuals, but I actually am very happy with it...I just hope the A8 holds up!!
