If I buy a new car (say a BRZ) with a real transmission today, I’d expect it to last me another 50 years, whereupon I’ll be driving a wheelchair if we don’t run out of oil first.

Or I could always go the kit car route. IMHO, automatics are only good for teen girls who like to have a hand free to yapp on their cell, text, and surf MyFace.

But none of the above has anything to do with the article I posted 🙂 And no, I really don’t care that the Nintendomatic shifts in 0.00001 seconds. I like computers. But I don’t want to feel like I’m driving one.

And lastly, I’m not a startup jock. I’m just an engineer who happens to be putting his talents to good use on a freelance/consulting basis. While also being interested in buying up enough property to give the benefits of a full-time job without the drawbacks of being someone’s b*tch 45 hours a week.
