I think a better word choice than "busy" would be "involved" or "engaged", but still get what he means and agree. I raced motocross from my mid teens well into my late 20s', did some motorcycle road racing too, 5 of the 7 cars I've owned were manual. Anything for fun should be manual for me. I don't deny that DCT can be quicker, just don't care. I test drove and am looking to buy a Lexus rc350 f sport, no manual available
. Maybe I'll change my mind when I own one and get some time in it, but I'm guessing I'll never touch its' paddles.
