Manual VS Auto

[luc]

I like the way it looks, rides, seating position, sounds etc. built in radio with car play and navigation. Nothing else added except taller bars and heated grips for cold weather riding and comfort. What bell? Seems as though you’ve got issues stereotyping people. You also seem to have to have to justify your purchase to strangers on a forum. Insecure perhaps?

In all fairness some states are so flat without any interesting curvy roads that a cruiser make sense
Riders come to California from all over the world to enjoy the fantastic, twisty riding such as
Hwy 36 between red bluff and fortuna... 136 miles of twisty paradise

What for? Because I own a Harley means what? Every piece of clothing I own says Harley Davidson on it? I hang out at biker bars with most bikes outside are Harleys? I wear bandannas and I’m a Hells Angels wanna be? What your silly Gremlin bell? Surprise don’t have one. No tassels either. I even have a full face helmet can you believe that? Stop being so ignorant and putting everything in nice little boxes to justify your purchase and feel superior to everyone else because they don’t conform to your likes etc.

Yea on the 2017 vs 2018 thread you wrote 5 times you don’t like the new front end. Did you forget writing it after the first time?

Get what you like. Choice is great. Not everyone likes a certain type of vehicle. Not everyone cares about speed. Some like to just cruise listening to tunes.

The only problem I have with bikes such as yours is the radio being loud enough the entire block hears it. Harleys sound badass most of the time. That radio though, its the same as the Ricer with 50' woofers breaking everyone's windows, or smoking a cigarette right next to someone. Ugh...apologies, my "snowflake" wants to be heard today.

I don’t remember

I agree. I have the stock
exhaust. I don’t crank the radio unless I’m out where I’m not bothering anyone. When I come to a intersection I lower the radio as I do in my GT if it’s that loud to bother people. Yep can’t stand sport bike with the exhaust too loud. Are all sport bike riders like that or riding like douche bags? Of course not but to lump them all into one category is pretty ignorant and uniformed.

Don't forget BMW drivers. They are all douche bags, too!

So this thread is now 7 pages and we haven’t had a single automatic owner facing up to the fact that he doesn’t know how to drive a manual...,the closest we got was someone blaming his wife.... nice

there is no doubt that for a DD, especially in a city, an automatic mustang make sense but, and that was What I I seriously don’t get, if you know how to drive a manual and your Mustang is your second or third car why will you deprive yourself of the pleasure that a manual bring?
Yes, I get it, the 10 speed is faster but how much times do that come into play in real life?
The answer is maybe simply that some of us appreciate different things
The Mustang for me (same as my Viper) is a sport car and I like them basics and raw, a 3rd pedal,
Cloth seat, no navigation, the least amount of electronics, etc

That was me. Here is a pic of my burnout in my Termi 100 years ago, which was a 6 speed. I can definitely drive a manual!

Were you able to get your sports cars with an old-timey phonograph instead of Sync? If you want the full manual experience, you really need to ditch the Viper and instead try a horse and buggy

EDIT: God I miss that car...

To the OP I forgot to answer your question: Yes, I got a manual cause I have no idea how to drive an auto! And apparently the A10 GT I wasted on them mean Mexican street last summer had no clue either! Cheers!

 

[WildHorse]

Cool story bro. Did he know you were racing?

He licked that stamp and tried to send it, so ima guessing yes, yes he did.

Only if they don't use the turn signals.

Turn signals are for Prius and Kia drivers!

Nope, turn signals are an expensive option in Cali and few cars have them

see, on the Corvette there is no way i would buy it with the A8.
Me either.

the T-56 is such a great transmission.
That's why I'm eyeing it in Magnum XL trim for my '08.

the Camaro transmission doesn't matter to me since the refresh is butt ugly.
For me, the goodness of the SS/1LE chassis greatly outweighs any appearance consideration. I've bought at least one car in spite of something about its appearance because other aspects of the car were more important to me.

the WRX auto transmission is absolutely terrible. it's a CVT
Likely the biggest part of why the WTX/STi MT take rate is higher than that of any other car.

I wonder how these MT vs AT threads would read if Ford had done what Nissan and Subaru have done . . .

MT vs CVT in the S650, anybody?

i'll never buy a CVT car, i don't care what it is

School me, please. When they first came out I thought it was a great concept. What about them fails to live up to the expectation? Are they fragile? I honestly have spent no time in one or even reading reviews.
