Ditto Tim Tenn, when I was young I could smoke, drink, shift, and round a corner missing a beat. But now that I'm older I quit smoking, don't drink and drive, and am too lazy to shift gears anymore.

Living in the city with a lot of stop and go having a stick is just annoying anymore. So I just go with my automatic. I love it. Its still fast.

I installed the TWM short shifter kit to my HHR over the weekend and "WOW" what a difference. Now I know what you SS owners have known. The shifting is so much better than stock. Much quicker and more precise. Best mod I have done yet and I have done a lot.
