Such a bunch of fucking wankers (how can you be an auto-journalist and not know how to drive a manual?!)...everyone should at least learn to drive a manual...:x

And this I won't even say "I told you so"...

wtf? you mean they made the paddle shifters so that they will go into reverse? i thought the car had a stick in the middle for park, drive, reverse, for everday driving, and the paddles were just for fun. i mean, if someone was downshifting to 1st, it sure would suck to accidently go into reverse.
and yea, with modern paddle shifting, traction control, cars are being built more and more for those that can't drive. its said really, but hey, sometime you have to caiter(sp?) to the rich. |

I think what RC meant was...the Ferrari driver thought he was some hot shit...even though he didn't even know how to drive a proper manual...so he goes out on the track, and what's the first thing he does? Spins it (that's how he went through the fence backward geniuses, not b/c the fapply-paddles went insane and selected reverse at 120...lol
).
