Not just difficult, but annoying, irritating, frustrating, aggravating, lame, a real drag, and anything else that I have ever been called.

Why should we shift when there is an app for that?!

This is bizarre, the address is The Advantages of Buying a Manual Transmission Vehicle, but it sends you to Five Myths About Stick Shifts: Manual vs Automatic Transmissions, which almost exclusively gives perceived advantages of automatics, and dismisses people who prefer manuals as nostalgic.

Why would you want a manual shifter when you could have this?!
