There's nothing wrong with an automatic transmission.... as long as it shifts. depends, I mean if you live in a very urban part of town, then it's much better... because the manual box can get tiring.


well, my new wheels and tires are on the way, so i went out in the rain last night to my old school which has this huge parking lot to see how much i could burn off the old tires....the gates were closed but UNLOCKED so in i go, and oh my gosh the fun i had..it was good becuase i learned alot of wet road handling of my bimmer and the exact point at which she slides around vs. gripping...
i highly recommend this to anyone, wet pavement doesnt really chew up the tires very much, so i was suprised in that respect..anyway, the most fun ever in my car..
one thing alarming, is that i have an auto, and when i floored it keeping the whel totally strait, after a time the reaer end would slide to the right..any ideas why?
thanks for letting me express my goodtime!
