I guess that makes me a pipe-smoker or trapazoid, not sure which, but one of these days I'm going to perfect heel-and-toe downshifts, buy a BMW E36 M3 and say to hell with all this "modern" technology. It's a good thing I only have about 20 laps left on my race. I can keep a true manual on the road that long.
