    Didn’t realize there’s a set shift point you have to shift by

    True. I can usually find time to fit the nugget in just right to jive with my shifts.

    The worst part is opening the second sauce packet that comes with the 10 piece, it always requires two hands. That's a problem even on an auto.

    Do you also manipulate the shifter with the buck knife, or do you have to put it down to shift?;)

    I see, so you're saying your automatic transmission can see what is happening car lengths in front of you and pre-select the correct gear and hit it at exactly the correct moment with exactly the proper amount of engagement speed? Wow, that's a pretty impressive transmission; would you mind telling us which manufacturer designed and built it?
