Stick shift baby, speed!
I like comfort, ease and drinking coffee in my automatic.
I do 'em both.
I don't know how to drive at the moment, but in the next couple weeks I will be learning, and it will be automatic.
I don't need to have driving be fun. I want to be safe. If people like to drive manual because it's a good time, fine, whatever, I don't care. But personally, I just want to have as little distractions as possible. Nice and easy.
All you auto-amerikkkans will be screwed when you rent a car in Europe.
there was a picture here
what's the point of renting a car in europe where they have public transport!
I drive auto but i want to drive manual because i like to do things the hard way. When I drive i try to imagine what gear the car is in incase i ever get the chance to drive manual.
However most of the time I use REAL manual (I walk). I consider anything else to be the lazy generation.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
It is my understanding that one should never drive a car in Europe because the drivers and pedestrians are insane.Originally Posted by Levian
Where there's only a 25% chance of getting stabbed!
(The Daily Mail says so. You can't argue with The Daily Mail!)
I think it's good to know how to drive standard shift. For example, If you and your friends go out and they all happen to get wasted from drinking so much beer. Let's then say, that you're the only sober one and you didn't drive, one of your friends did and ze car is stick.
Would it not be good to know it then?
you'd only get stabbed because your country has outlawed guns!
I had a 100% safety record for my european public transit usage. The BO factor is another story, however.
I would take their wallets and buy a cab ride. Then pick up a hottie to give me a ride back to her place where hilarity would ensue.
Due to my castration as a young boy, I am now unable to drive manual.
I want to learn how to drive manual just because I think a manual car may be handy.
I haven't driven any 2008 cars. My Explorer is a 2000 and I can tell you that despite being auto it doesn't shift very nicely automatically. You often have to coax it into shifting as it nears the shift mark. My family hasn't caught on to that and they get 15-17mpg to my 20-21 mpg.
The Pacifica(a 2005?) has some similar issues. Though this only occurs in one particular gear range for the most part. I can hear my sisters and mother revving up the engine every time in that range cause they expect it to handle the shifting. I don't let it do that and coax it to shift without revving it. However despite the lack of revving I don't really get much better mpg. Maybe 1mpg or more depending on number of starts/stops.
STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
You'd be doing him a favour if you ask me.
I drive automatic. We've never had manual cars in the time I've been driving, and I refuse to waste my time learning anytime soon. The only way I'll give a crap about learning manual is if I ever manage to get my butt behind the wheel of a Lancer Evolution. I'll learn it for that (or a Ferrari), but otherwise why bother when I can just buy and drive automatics? I couldn't give two craps about the experience of driving a manual. I find driving to be plenty enjoyable with an automatic.
I recently had a dream that I tried to drive stick and backed down a snowy hill into a tree.
Boldly go.
I don't know, and don't really care, how automatics even work. I use automatic because I don't have to do anything. I've never driven a manual, and don't ever plan to. My automatic gets decent gas mileage and I don't have to worry about doing extra things with my hands and feet.
