I'm old enough to want to give my left leg a break.

Auto for me, but a six-speed like the Bentley Continental.

[And if pressing buttons or paddles is quick enough and control enough for Formula 1, who are we to disagree?]

That must be why you don't show your birthday in your profile

F1 type Shift Paddles would be nice.

Sure I show it. Same month as yours, N/A.

Nah, it's just I'm shy, don't want a lot of cards and fuss and stuff.

Speaking of paddles, I have just discovered that the Japanese Legacy Twin Turbo GT can come with Tiptronic!!!!
Reason I found this out, I have just bought an Auto '97 car, mine has the same 4EAT as the SVX. Must find out more about this tiptronic, it would make a nice transplant for an SVX if the box blew.

That would be interesting. Test drove a few cars with paddles this spring. They really differ in response. RX-8 and Saab 9-5 were the best of the ones I tried.
