there's this wonderful option at the car dealership, u wouldn't believe it!!!
u can either chose to have a manual transmition (change the gears yourself) OR u can have automatic! it's great.
so yea, depending on which car u buy...
as for me, i drive an automatic, but i know how to drive a manual. my dad made sure i knew how to drive a manual when i was 15. i'm glad he did because i've been in several situations where it was necessary.

the only difference between an automatic transmisison and a manual is that a manual uses a clutch to transfer power from the engine to the gearbox, that and it uses a throw linkeage to shift gears. auto transmissions use a torque converter to transfer power from the engine and use solenoid valves to control gear shifts.

Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine?
