manual. i dont think i want an automatic car again. traffic with a manual does suck, but when you get out of traffic the rewards outweigh that. i am in the process of selling this car and it is a pain to sell b/c most people in NY want automatics.

I had a number of stick cars, 5spds & 6spds. The only time i would buy a stick again is if the car was a sports cars or muscle car. When im driving, i always end up being behind some retard with some stick shitty ass 4 banger that cant move for shit.

manual.
so both feet and arms have something to do.

Most of the time I drive a stick, occasionally I'll use the other car and drive automatic.

i drive a standard. i have a hard time driving automatics, its pretty funny

I've had 2 manuals and 2 autos but currently have an auto. I prefer manual (as long as it's a sports car) as I live outside of downtown and don't catch a lot of traffic. I would say roughly about 65-70% of Americans have automatics.

i cant drive auto anymore, i drove my parents minivan a couple months ago and almost broke my nose on the steeringwheel....

while driving down my street to the neighboors house to pick up my dad (he was hammed) i wasnt wearing my seat belt and went to push the clutch in so i could coast through a stop sign, but instead of a clutch pedal i hit one of those stupid double wide brake pedals and put my head right into the steering wheel... it sucked.... nevar again will i drive auto.... 5sp FTW

I kind of know how to do manual, but I'm bad at it, so i'll stick to auto/sport shift

yeah traffic on a hill sucks. what even sucks more is that a lot of people here in the US, dont drive manual. so in traffic on a hill they are right on your bumper. i am always like wtf, please give me a little room to roll back on.

roll back? whats that?

Posted by wizniz on Aug-10-2006 16:10:

when on a hill, you inevitably roll back a little during the time it takes for your foot to go from the brake to the clutch and to accellerate. depending on how good you are you roll back less, but you gotta have some room just for peace of mind.

my car is an auto diesel so it might as well be manual because im constantly playing with the gears to get it to shift the right way...

old cars ftw lol im always paying attention...
