        1. @adiwan it was a gag I saw somewhere on the internet. Not like an actual piece of advice or an award or anything.

      1. @awl I just looked up at a German car-dealing website, on which people can offer their car for sale, and found out that about 37% of all cars there are automatic. I thought this number would be lower.
