Manuals Are Losers

[K4fxd]

On the bike I could ride up to any bar and get instant response from females.

I "F"up buying a mustang.

Actually I F up selling my bike, but too many texting and playing with their digital dashes. Already crashed hard due to some asshat.

I’m on a roll tonight! I blasted the service manager at my dealership for Fu#%ing up my oil change and laid into a few keyboard warriors! Things are good again!

Next?

Can you torch the dude that wrecked my '20 HEP ? He's somewhere in Mexico ..............

OK, Here’s the DEAL! If you “Want to drive a car”! Again, “ IF YOU WANT TO “DRIVE” A Car!

Find a GT350! “Drive a real car”. Or maybe go test drive an Explorer! Don’t hate. You asked for it!

With today's used car market, have any idea just how hard it is to find a low mileage '19-'20 GT350 ?

CDC studies show manual drivers have a higher IQ than auto drivers*... furthermore, CDC studies show drivers of autos with paddles have shifter dysphoria.

You program the unit with the ballistics info in use, sight a target through the scope, put a red dot on the target, and pull the trigger. The system laser ranges to the target, calculates the bullet drop, adjusts the sight image to accommodate, then fires the rifle when it is determined that it's pointing at the target spot, adjusting for any unsteadiness in the shooter's hold. Another employee asked if I was going to get it, to which I replied "No,

Bad comparison, I want to hit what I aim at.....

No, it's an excellent comparison.

I want to hit what I'm aiming at, when I pull the trigger. That unit turns shooting into little more than a video game with no benefit to personal shooting skills . . . and carries the further disadvantage over a shooting video game of costing real ammunition money.

All the fun is in the stick

Reading thru this thread for the entertainment value and just got to this "That's what she said" moment, only to realize this ad was soooo appropriately placed!

Some people think breakfast is better if you slaughter your own hog and make your own sausage.

This whole argument gets silly and boring to me. 95% or more of the people on here are not racing their car on the track so 1/4 mile speeds and 0-60 speeds are irrelevant. Most of us are not good enough drivers to get the most out of the car anyway, so why the debate. I have the manual because I like driving a manual. Others have automatics because they like autos, or cannot drive the manual. It doesn't matter really. Just drive what you like and don't worry about what everyone else is driving. I have strong opinions on this myself but I am not convincing anyone on here nor are they convincing me.

I agree, for the most part.

What's probably be getting lost here is that while most of the reasons that people prefer automatics are easy to understand, the mainly subjective reasons that others prefer manuals may not be. Not on an "own knowledge" level, anyway.

No doubt a manual is more fun, until it isn't.

Auto for daily, manual for weekends

How is a manual not good for daily? Confusing to me really. It is simply not that hard to drive. Mine is my Daily Driver and I really don't even think about shifting...I don't get it. If there is traffic and you don't want to shift, turn on WAZE and go around it. I have no problem with my 6 Speed as a daily driver. The ONLY bad thing I see is in bumper to bumper traffic, which sucks with whatever tranny you have, but again, turn on WAZE.
