Let me clarify that I hate all automatics and not just the 928s.

If you shift it then it's not very automatic. And you're not holding coffee, either. OK. I would but it's tricky to pass it hand-to-hand while driving with the left knee to do so.

This all reminds me of a grand Ozzy song:

Yes, mine is a daily driver... albeit in Atlanta but there is pretty bad traffic here too... and before that daily driver in MA Boston area, so about 12 years and about 130,000 miles or so daily driven 5-speed 928 miles... what is the big deal? You get a stronger leg for free
