Why don't you drive a manual like a real man?

because modern automatics are faster.

>hurr my straight line acceleration

drink more soy, boi

You must been that type of faggy kid that brags about his Acura shitbox getting 350 HP but the damn thing barely runs, dives like a bus, looks like a Fast and Furious reject. There's nothing wrong with using an automatic, if it get you to point A to B then who gives a shit

They’re fine until your in traffic or stopped on a steep hill

I do, but automatics are fine too.

I have more fun in manuals because I like the driving experience to be more tactile, but Autos are still fine.

I'm not American, so of course I don't drive children's transmission cars. I also believe the shitty pseudo scientific /pol/ bullshit about soy, sorry.

but can you drive one?

come on, you an amateur

>dont buy any green bananas

lmao it's really not that hard

2019. Driving antiquated technology because you feel like a man. Do you use a phone from 1930 as well?

what

Modern automatic transmissions are better at their job and more reliable than a manual transmission, they are also more efficient at gas consumption.
Having a manual transmission and feeling you are somehow better is like having a 90's Nokia instead of a smartphone in 2019, you are slowing yourself down in order to feel edgy and special. Grow up, get an automatic car

>Driving antiquated technology because you feel like a man
I suppose you rive electric, then?

or maybe I'm slowing myself down because I really don't need to go all that fast.

y all dim geerz doe dawg

plot twist: some of the earliest cars were electric

I would but my wife can't handle it and she's my dd often

It's a difference between car guys and non-car guys, rather than a difference in "manliness"

car guys like things to be tactile and to be as in control as possible, something which autos don't offer.

Although now that automatics with sport shifts are becoming as good as they are, they're finally more of a viable option

holy fuck retard no one else in the thread has said that

legit excuse

I have both, because I'm not a poorfag.
Manual transmissions have the advantage of zero delay when exiting corners on the track (because no matter how fast automatics are, they can't anticipate what hasn't happened yet whereas a driver knows that a downshift may be needed at the end of a turn).
Autos are better for mud (no delay in power transfer to wheels during shifting).
So it all depends on the situation.

I mean in general that's pretty much the case

It's rare that you find a car guy at a meet who isn't driving manual or at least something with sport shift.

Do you remember when you had to text message on a phone before the phone had a keyboard. How it was a pain in the ass, and took longer? Yeah, that's a manual transmission. I grew up riding dirt bikes and atv's. I can drive manual fine. Doesn't mean that it isn't inconvenient.

unless you're in Europe. Everyone drives manual, it's rare to find cars with auto-trans at all, they're pretty much seen as exotic toys.

I heard Prius hurts the environment more than it helps. Think of all the diesel fuel that had to be burned to mine the materials to make the battery on that thing. Consider that coal fired plants may be producing the power to recharge those batteries. Think about the plastics used to make a Prius.

You might be surprised to know that a big boat car with a V8 motor is actually softer on the environment.

how? It's just driving a car but with some extra tactile inputs that some people find fun. It's not hard or inconvenient.

Fair enough.

Driving stick is unamerican. Everybody knows that commute to work is a pain in the ass even when driving automatic.

kill self

you just scared of learning new skill

Kek. Its safer too. You can die easy in a prius.

Maybe because most, if not all, choices for gearheads, tuners, racers, petrolheads, or whatever you want to call them are classic cars, and by classic I do include those made in the 90s. Auto transmission was shit and expensive in those days, now add to the fact that most of cult classics were never made in auto or if they were people chose manual for tuning possibilities and you got yourself a car meet.
I've still got a manual sitting in the garage, but hell be damned if I'll use it as a daily over my auto.

My daily is a Miata NB and its an auto and I don't give two fucks about stick or auto
When others give me crap about an auto Miata I say "Its my car not yours so fuck off"

pls do

Used to have a manual. Loved the fuck out of it. My car started going to shit mechanically and I had to trade it for something more economical because I had to start commuting an hour and a half each day. Got a fuel efficient automatic car and gave up my dignity as part of the contract. Feels bad

You just said it yourself: requires extra tactile inputs. Some people prefer to hit the "30+ sec" button on the microwave once to heat up things for 30 seconds than to hit the "TIME" button, "3" then "0" then "Start". It's inconvenient. If you like making things hard for yourself and you enjoy it, then more power to you.

No doubt Autos will be more in style but I think you'll be hard pressed to find car guys adopting traditional Autos with no input over a Dual Clutch or at least a Manumatic

I don't actually have any problem with Autos I'm just saying that it seems like most car guys aren't really into them

Look I have an Automatic truck and a Manual coupe, and to be honest, neither one is "more convenient" to drive than the other. I have more fun driving the coupe because I get to have more control over the way the car moves.

Also hitting two more buttons on a microwave isn't hard or inconvenient

How low is your tolerance for inconvenience? That's just sad

Manual is on it's way out. Useless in every way except for hanging out with other men talking about your stick.

A better question is why do manual drivers care so fucking much? It seems that most if not all hold their ability to drive manual cars above all else, simply because it is the only "specialized" "ability" they seem to have. Stop.

What I find amusing is that, what was once a painful necessity is now an option and you see that as "manly" You don't even know what it was like without power steering and power brakes. Try driving a 400 hp piece of Detroit steel on today's freeways with drum brakes. Then we'll see if you're a man or not. Also; not in this thread but related - can you effectively use a rotary phone? a pager? an answering machine? a ten key adding machine? no? fucking losers. This modern world is full of pussys.

fuck you fucking truck drivers. I drive I-5 between Sacramento and Oregon all the time. You fuckers never want to hit your brakes and lose that cruise control. Speed limit for trucks is 55 cars 70 and I have seen you fuckers swerve in front of a car to pass your fellow trucker who is going 1 mile an hour below your limit. Takes a quarter mile for you to pass and you get pissed off when I don't let you do that shit. I fucking hate the way you guys drive.

Is your grandmother named caboose by chance

Neither I nor my wife had owned an automatic until 2011, when we replaced one car with autoT. Not happy. When I hit the gas, the car thinks about what I've done, decides that's really what I wanted, revs up the engine, then checks one more time to see if I was kidding, then engages and accelerates. By that time the opportunity is lost and I have to abandon whatever the attempt, but then the engine is revved and tries to work out if I am really aborting. I frickin hate the thing.

holy fuck your a huge retard.

You seem like a hateable person. Fuck, you sound so stupid by attempting to be edgy. Automatic is not an improvement of manual, it is a different kind of driving. It's like saying you only watch movies on Netflix because it's the "modern" thing to do instead of going to a movie theater, or taking Uber because is "modern" instead of a taxi.
Each has its advantages, but manual, movie theaters and taxis will always prevail.

Fuck you. No one cares about your neurotic macho bullshit.

>Automatic is not an improvement of manual

i prefer manual but the laziness of automatic took over.
not to mention it's actually pretty hard to find a manual to buy these days and even harder to sell the car )

I take it you don't own guns, then.

I do drive a manual, in my car.

But I also have an automatic truck because it's really hard to find a manual truck, and it's not fast enough, or gas efficient enough for me to actually benefit from shifting it manually anyways. The only real reason I ever wish it were manual is when I get stuck.

>operating a gear box is homosexual
you gotta one helluva deep closet repressed faggot gayer than rainbow concentrate to actually believe that shit.

If you take pride in being able to do something that a good percentage of 14-year-olds on this plant can do then you are a sad human being.

I've never understood why it's considered manly to drive stick. Unless you're driving a 20 year old car, it's not going to be any faster. If you have a car that's slow as an automatic, it's going to be slow as a standard too.

Btw, I hope you've got a plan for when your mind-numbing job becomes automated in the next 15 years...

If you are proud of yourself for being able to drive a vehicle with a stick shift then you are one sorry, pathetic sad sack.

yeah sure, let me just mortgage my house, get a second job and go into debt for an incredibly over-priced European vehicle.

Maybe, until they are having wrecks left and right, breaking down, getting hacked by thieves stealing everything or by terrorist putting bombs on them.

Maybe in 150 years it would be completely automated, but any robotic semis right now would require a physical human behind the wheel.

Cause I'm not an overcompensating retard.

Unless you race professionally, there's no reason to drive a stick.

Or do you just like having a dick analogue to grab on to?

I do drive manual. A big thing that made me learn was that my gf drove a 92 ranger 5 speed.

Idk why but I didn’t like that feeling that I was driving a 02 automatic cavalier and she was using stick. So now I drive a stick and she drives a automatic lol

I can't WAIT to see the results of an autonomous vehicle putting chains on in a blizzard that brings 98" of snow in a 12 hour period!

So many variables requiring hands-on expertise in the logistics field!

I don't even drive a manly car. I drive a 1.4 liter economy sedan that maxes out at 160 horses WITH the turbo. But I still made sure it had a manual transmission.

At first there will be attendants whose job it is to drive out and install/remove chains for a winter pass. This will still be a more cost-effective option than having a passenger in each self-driving truck to perform such tasks.

As technology improves there will be an on-board system to deploy tire chains in a matter of minutes. Just because you can't imagine this being the future of your industry doesn't change the inevitability, and MUCH more soon than 150 years

Automatics in UK within the low/ mid market bracket cars £15k - £22k are pretty shit.
They're usually at least 1 second slower 0-60 and less efficient, sacrificing about 5mpg.
