Why no AT crashes?

Does it have to do with the manual being more powerful overall or is it a traction control/lsd issue? This isn't supposed to be a mt vs at thread, but more of a general thread. Thanks

Its true. If fact insurance for the automatic is about half the price of a manual.

I think that people that drive manuals may drive a little more aggressive then AT.. that may or may not be true, but when I drive an AT I am allot more calm, but when I drive MT I am always punching it and my music is up louder..

It's because ATs, right before impact, will actually lift off the ground and take flight. It's a limited flight, kind of like a turkey, or a flamingo.

I dont drive like an ******* on busy roads but definetly open it up once I get into my town filled with wide open roads with some nice curves. I washed my K&N's today and oiled them up. It also dropped 25 degress, its amazing my exhaust sounds lil louder and pulls harder when I gas it. I went WOT down long road once I got off the main road and I was like wow I like this car...
