No driving a manual does not make you smarter, more skilled, a better driver or more of a car guy.

Funny, I thought it was the other way around :crackup:

Auto Boys don't give a crap what you drive, you're in his rearview anyway. It's the Manual Man who gets all hot and bothered over people not using HIS preferred transmission.
Quarter of a second would place manual drivers in his blind spot.

I think the lads with a "short" throw shifter can sit this one out, regardless.
Does it matter if I’m a shower or a grower?

Oh sweetie, I guarantee I make more money than you, just going off of your language skills. I'm also not sure what your grievance you could possibly have with my delightful dog meme. If you could point to the post in this thread where it was used before, I will gladly issue myself a 10-yard penalty for reuse of meme.

You're such a foolish little boy, thinking money makes you something. Might see a doctor get that limp wrist checked.

True. Driving a manual does not make you those things OR more a car guy. It makes you all those things AND more a car guy.

Way back before the dawn of time I had a 53 MG and a 66 Porsche 911. Those cars were a real test of your driving and shifting skills. The MG required constant gear changes and steering corrections, even driving straight. The Porsche was really light in the front end, had no torque, extremely difficult to maintain rpms on a shift and oversteered like mad. Take your foot of the gas at the wrong time and it swapped ends. Going over 40 mph on a curvy road with either required big balls.

But I stopped driving modern cars with manual transmissions because shifting was just a chore the car could do better without my help. The thrill was gone. About the only thing that comes close to matching the experience of driving that old iron is a Morgan 3 wheeler.
