What is better? Auto or Manual..of course Manual is the best!

I got an automatic because the auto had lower miles..I want to get a new Celica to just make it manual but the miles are high and the price is overpriced. My girlfriend said if I am going to buy a car why buy another Celica...

Is there any way that I can turn my auto to manual? Instead of buying a new car? Anyone in Southern California that could do it?

Goodness...I think all the auto drivers should just stop trying to make there car sound better by saying it has a special button on the automatic shifter. Yea...I am sure an AUTO ST would beat a z28....hahahahaha. I bet. Autos are slower,accept it. Sorry,also....manuals can do that too...it's called downshifting and we can do it all the time not just up in the higher speeds. 

That is a lot of BS... you should know by know that I have a boyfriend driving a Turbocharged Trans AM and you should know that with the turbo he has a little under, about 1-9, horses under his uncle's vette... His uncle likes to go racing on road courses around here, when they have practice and amateur events... I have even went up against him and his uncle at one event and... D*** I ran right there with his uncle until his uncle's engine broke a few of its push-rods... in the end though my boyfriends TTA out ran me so on the last lap which was an all out no holds bars A** of a Job to do on that course... AND there were planty of imports there and in the end MY boyfriend and ME and A '96 Camaro SS finished in that order first and The other 7 generation Celicas and base Camaros and Mustangs, all lost... And even my moms Viper had its engine let go... SO KNOW WHAT, if you don't believe me, let me know your number so my boyfriend can tell you...

The only reason probably that I won was because my uncle had replace some of the stuff on my car with lighter weight stuff like the hood that he painted to look like the rest of the car... and the rims and tires... and a few other minor items like radiator and air condensor... and also because I have been driving my auto for long enough that I know what its limits are and I can push the car to my limits and it laughs and says that this is it, you don't have any thing else... My mom also has an manual 5 generation st and it is so slow that I could smoke it through the quarter by abou 10 car links and that around here with our weather, equats to about 3 sec advantage...
