We did get a manual, but only because automatic Monaros are few and far between. It’s true that it’s a real “driver’s car” and the manual trans *does* add to the “driving experience”… but I can still take it or leave it.

So, you got the automatic or the manual? I’m totally with you on this one Kay – I mean what sort of person needs to prove something by driving a manual car? Well, one of my oldest friends for one, who, in his own words “likes to feel close to the machine”. Yep, he’s dressed up as a metrosexual, but he’s an old skool man at heart

Please don’t fall in to the trap of even addressing the predjudices of others. Any cool coder knows cool is cool, you don’t have to comply with other people’s so called standards. Girl coders, in my experience, *are* cool. If you start worrying about being ‘hardcore geeky enough’ then you are defining your terms with reference to someone else’s schema. So don’t. Just be you, and keep your own high standards. Which I guess is kinda what catspaw was saying – just the two of you should let the sad loosers who feel threatened by their own insecurity fall by the wayside. Be free.
