More On Automatic Transmission (Non-)Driving

My pal Jeff compared my rental automatic-transmission car to a go-cart. Though I think he said that because it is a Ford Focus.

I realized that driving a car with automatic transmission vs. manual transmission is like waterskiing on two Dick Pope Jr. skiis vs. an EP slalom. The Dick Popes are slippery, with less control, and not nearly as much fun as the EP.

I get my car back tomorrow. Whew.
