Stupid Commercials
So, there is his tv ad, about the new "Ztronik"* automatic transmission for a "Leftra"* car.
The guy delivers his speech stuttering, to reinforce the point that before the "Ztronik Leftra"*, it was impossible to shift gears without the car jumping, jolting and jerking. Even with other automatic transmissions.
As the driver of a stick shift, I am always faintly insulted by the ad and the implications that I need a machine to do what I have been doing for over 15 years: smooth gear shifts.
* - look how clever I am, changing a few letters to not seem like I am mocking the Xtronic Nissan Centra...
