Here's a couple more:

Everytime you work on a friend's automatic racer, you slow it down.

You drive your wife's automatic car using your left foot for the brake simply because it won't be still.

Converters make no sense; if you need to leave harder, just step it up.

You know the gear ratios of every available Detroit V8 manual transmission built since 1955.

You make a run, get back to your pit, put the car on four jack stands, and lay under it!

Or in your case Larry, you just lift the car up with one arm and wiggle the trans out with the other. LOL.

Now, most of my shirts have gravel dust ground into the shoulders from lying on them, but I have seen plenty of the auto guys with the car up in the air. Of course those racers have pink stains on the Front of their shirts!

A few more;

1) When you go to buy a new vehicle your first question to the salesperson is; "does it come with a stick".
His/her reply; "whats that"?

2) You put your stick shift race car up for sale. Potential new owner says he is going to put an automatic in it. Your reply, "Sorry its no longer for sale".

3) You don't know how automatics work and don't care to learn.

4) Fellow racer comes over to offer you a complete automatic trans to convert your car over. You politely decline.
