I think it fairley safe t say the guy at work is an idiot.

I had a guy at the motor pool tell me one of our work trucks (a late 80s deisel Chevy van) had a computer controled trans and it adapted to the driving habits of the people driving it. As it wasn't going into drive until about 2500rpm, I blurted out "COOL; I've been doing neutral drops for so long it looks like the van started doing them for me"
