If you know what you're doing, you can rock an automatic no problem. I've done it many times. [:I]
Either way it's hard on things, but yes you can rock an automatic just the same as a manual. I don't see why you would have to get out with an auto???
To throw out a quick answer to your queston BskidooC - Allison makes a great transmission, that's why people want them.
I've had auto's and I currently have a 5-spd, driven plenty of both as well. Sure a manual is more for work, but the new auto's do pretty good too.
Diesal's may be meant for work, but the majority of people who own them I doubt pull more then a camper or a boat every once in awhile. Pretty sure an auto can handle that.
If you have ever had to drive a stick in areas where you have to shift alot, it's way nicer to have that auto. Call it what you will, but your leg gets sore from always pushing the clutch in...at least on the hydraulic clutches.
As for playing, I'll take an auto any day. The manuals just can't handle the abuse in 1st, 2nd, and reverse. They aren't made for that.
