Cool M-Mode -- am I the only one?

I know that we have an auto transmission, not SMG or DSG but I still love cruising around in M-mode, or at least using the buttons. Sure the shifts aren't instantaneous, but I just love the sound of that V-8 Kompressor all wound up. I commonly find myself cruising the streets at 50mph in 2nd gear. On the highway, so what, keep her in 3rd at about 3500rpms, with all that torque instantly on demand.

So, am I the only one?

No, you aren't the only one. I drive in M-mode all the time so long as the traffic isn't stop and go. Stop and go, I lock S-mode in second gear.
