IRL they do...not in game, unless u turn on automatic geraboxes on, but that affects all the cars...they made some modes to fix that though...

Not sure what you mean.

113. You can put your car in auto, and if you're talking about the character always using the H-Shifter or Paddles in auto, some cars still actually ARE automatic (E.g. Most of the Lexus').

114. What about when you go to real estate places or tuners or car dealerships, or deliveries etc.

115. I've flipped a few of my cars on numerous occasions.

116. Well it respawns you when you drive into the water so I assume that's because you sink.
