I'd like to have an automatic too, i think ive said it a thousand times, but once you learn how to drive a manual you just do it and its not hard to do, by the way i dont think you made any burnout on third, you rather stalled the car, anyway if i was you i would have learnt how to drive a manual, although im in not in love with it for the moment i am very glad i can drive a manual, which is the hard thing... to say that you can only drive automatics is quite poor...
