Much better than hitting brakes, letting off, hitting brakes, lettng off,
hitting brakes... Beter handling response as well.
Problem is, you still have to hit the brakes anyways, to get the lights up,
or the person behind you will assume you're taking the 30 rated corner at 55
like they do...
Walt, who sometimes takes the 30 rated at 60, but doesn't recommend it..

For descending a steep grade a manual has HUGE advantages. However if
you're just driving dirt roads scouting around for game an auto is way
easier. They can also be good in a big mud hole because the shift doesn't
lose all your torque... Compromises either way.
