A little brainteaser
I am sure you will get this one immediately.
You are driving on a highway at 60mph and catch up with another TL. How can you quickly and decisively tell if it is an AT or MT?

I have a funny story related to this. A friend of mine was driving next to me right after I bought the car and he noticed the Acura logo "on the spinning wheel". However, he did not realize that it was on the caliper and thought that this word that mysteriously appears on a _rotating_ wheel is an advanced hi-tech stroboscopic effect by Acura
I have to admit that the Acura logo does look really cool when viewed at full speed. You do not get to see it that often, do you?

acugirl,
It's definitely a rare sight. I have only spotted a handful of 6MTs and all were parked. They usually don't like to stay still for too long. I wish I could have gotten the manual as well but I do about 75 to 85% city and stop and go driving most of the time and no one else in the family knows or wants to learn to drive a stick. Oh well. You girls and boys just go and enjoy rowing the gears. I'm just going to pretend to have fun with the sport shift.
