Do you know what a MX-5 is so fun? its not b/c it does 0-60 in 3 seconds with a automatic. Its b/c it is slower than most cars with a sweet manual that keeps you involved with the car as you have to shift and use all available power when needed instead of just putting it in DRIVE and it doesn't matter what gear the car is in b/c it makes 600hp with 600 lbs of torque.
This is all so funny. All these years people have bashed others for not having a manual b/c they are not as involving and manuals rule and have "soul". Now that some favorite cars/brands are dropping manual the SAME RATIONAL people used for years is now used against them.

The picture itself, of course (a Google-shot), is symbolic...it may or may not (?) be an actual photo....I can't say. But, in the D.C. area, over the years, I have been in a number of jams myself that looked just like that. The inadequate D.C.-area Interstate system, for a number of reasons, is known for miles-long backups. The L.A./SoCal system is, too, but, unlike the much more-limited D.C-area system, it generally gives drivers more options and choices to get around them.
