Propeller Skies

Ed Voyles Acura provided me with a 2006 Acura TL 5AT as a loaner while my 2004 6MT was in for service. Driving a car exactly like mine, except minus a clutch, was rather surreal. I expected the slushbox would not be much different from my beloved whip. I was wrong. After enjoying the crisp responses of the manual transmission version for almost a year now, the automatic was like driving while trapped in a vat of gelatin. The trashmatic turns the Acura TL into a fogeymobile.
