BMW M3 CSL - Its an automatic

I have had stick from my friends for over a year now for driving an automatic, even today at lunch.. we were at the pub and the guy who was paying because he was leaving us shared how people who loved cars would buy a manual....
As much as these 'men' who need a gear paddle and a clutch to prove thier manhood amuse me, I try and ignore them, until now that is, I just watched the Top Gear show that reviewed the BMW M3 CSL, not just the M3, which by itself is a very mean machine but the CSL... go google it, read the specs, read the review and SHUT IT ;)

Lying.....

I had this strange question pop up in my mind, what if someone tries to lie to you and you know that they are, yet just because you dont want to make an issue of it, you play along. So who has won here? The person lying or the one who knows it a lie..... guess both, because both achieved what they wanted :)
