How to drive automatic car
I have been driving manuals only and now I have my MB.
When you stop at a traffic light, do you put your gear to N or just keep it in D??
Thanks.

for short stops like traffic lights just keep it in D, if you're stopping for a longer period, like maybe a train crossing or waiting for your girl who ran into the store for '5 seconds', then you could think about putting it in N.
I also came from driving a manual my whole life, nothing worse than hitting the brakes when you subconsciously go for the clutch pedal...!

So it is just better stay D while I am waiting at traffic light. If I have to wait for my girl, I will just trun off the engine and sleep in my car
I miss manual, but auto is....more relaxing? I guess

I live in Oakalnd. What is mileage of your car? How is the condition?
Mine is the worst condition ever. Car doesn't run like it should so it is sitting in my garage and under surgery. It is worse than I expected lol but I will make her alive again. I also kind got ripped off, and paid too much $$ for the condition of car, but I learned my lesson and time to move on.
