Manual is literally superior for nothing, to the point where they're not used at all.

Is that why every motor sport uses manual trans?

[–] 5 pts

Except high end motorsports use Dogboxes which is not the same and Formula 1 uses semi-auto gearboxes like most luxury cars.

Um...dragsters and funny cars use auto trans, you big tranny

Is that why drag racing separates classes into auto and manual since autos are faster?

You must not drive in the snow, I’ve only had two automatics, boring drive actually.

I don't drive in the snow. I have a 5-spd manual 4WD SUV which I'd love to drive in a blizzard some day. I also have a pickup with automatic.

clearly you don't go shooting from a vehicle

I would never do a drive by in a stick.

That's why you have two people in the car.

drive bys should be done with a good friend driving

If I did, I'd want a vehicle with an automatic transmission.

How the fuck can you shoot when one hand is continually being used to shift instead of shoot?

you're not always changing gears... i find myself in 2nd or 3rd gear constantly

My first gear goes from 0-70km/h, 2nd goes from 0-100+

What are you talking about? Something you have experience with or is this all shit coming from your face?

A manual is superior when it comes to the average automatic for reliability and repair cost, shifting in traffic jams is a buzz kill though. My next vehicle will be electric, hope the transmissions are reliable, can't imagine electric transmissions need much gearing.

It currently costs 900 bucks to charge a Tesla in Texas, lol

The new Lucid Motors car is supposed to be able to go over 500 miles on a charge. That's what I was waiting for.

Some solar panels on the house in Texas and your set. Just make sure to keep the snow off them.

What a freak storm down there. We have natural gas for heat up here in the North and fireplaces.

The only transmission I've ever had a problem with in my entire life was the standard transmission in the car I owned, my only standard tranny car. Eveny automatic transmission in every other car in my lifetime has been problem-free.

I had nothing but manuals, never burned out a clutch and never had any problems. Chevrolet Cavalier had 310,000 miles, clutch was still good, Ford truck and car both with over 150,000 clutches still worked fine. Had a Buick Skylark auto went out, Chevrolet Caprice auto went out. Lot less to go wrong with a manual, more fun to drive too, unless stop and go traffic.

Agreed. We need to kill the myth that standard shift is better than automatic. This may once have been true, but it's not true today.
