I've never understood the complaints about manuals in traffic. Having lived in two of the worst areas for traffic, I've never once thought that having an automatic would make it any better, or worse, really. I'd just be driving an automatic which seems silly.
Agreed. I'm still doing some of those driving in my M coupe whenever I'm doing things on my own (SO doesn't like riding in the coupe as much as I enjoy driving it).

You know that CA is a huge state, don't you? CA generally don't have any traffic issues once you get out of the metropolitan areas.
