Ciao everyone!!
I have been lurking for a long time and learned a lot through the forum.
I know it’s not needed, but I wanted to share a quick “bio” about why I’m here.
Back in 2018, after 20 years of stick-shift (I grew up in Italy) I had the need to sell my stick A5 and so decided to “finally” get myself into an “automatic” … moved by my origins and after test driving it for 5 mins, I decided to lease my Giulia.
A kid later and 100% working from home for the future (my job moved me to home-office virtually “forever”), I’m basically not and won’t driving much anymore… not even to the gym for a while 
For longer trips we’ll use my wife’s SUV, so with a lot of time on my end I started “thinking” about transferring my lease and somehow go back to a “fun-no-hassle-stick-shift” for whenever I will resume driving here and there.
