Lol

There are quicker shift times in some vehicles, but I don't feel that you can get as much enjoyment out of an automatic. Stick shift just gives you a more connected experience in my opinion.

It normally does

I do see what you're saying there mike, and I do agree. The extra shifting wears out the clutches, springs, valves, etc quicker. But what would be considered a better outcome, an engine that lives longer because its in ideal range more often but a tranny that wears quicker, or vice versa?

lol

The only thing I really miss about old vehicles is there was actually space under the damn hood to work on stuff

I was trying to find the best way to send him a message.

And the floor button for highbeams

dam, this server has good emotes

I get what you're saying, but it also depends on the driver. What if the guy driving the manual knows how to drive properly and efficiently, and the guy in the automatic wants to race everyone at the lights?

How is everyone doing

You don't. Please do not ping him unless he is talking, and his dms are closed.

Staring at my phone looking for election news like some damn junkie and I ain't even american

Lol "you don't"

Nice

Pretty good 😌 you?

I'm great

Idk if you guys know this but Canadians watch American election like its thier own election

Most Europeans do too

Our elections suck

So do Australians

Yeah

Personally I think if the same person is driving both cars, and doing it as efficiently as possible, the automatic one is going to have slightly less engine wear over like 100k. I'm still gonna take the manual though lol

Manual cars make girls wet

United States does have a major influence on lots of the world so it’s not surprising

So they are better

Bruh imagine not driving manual

Especially if you can switch gears smooth

Do people in america not drive manual 😂😂

Then you can look at em and say your good with your hands

Only like 3% of cars sold annually here are stick shift.

Most Americans drive automatics

Why

Here we learn it manual

We're lazy.

Because most Americans are dumb

From what I understand Europeans do manual and the americas is automatic

America is basically the only ones that do automatic if I remember right

@mikeflarkin You make a fair case there. I do a lot of city driving and commuting with traffic, so a manual isn't ideal for me either way. That's not to say that it couldn't be done, but I wouldn't want to be the one to do it lol

Wow that was grammatically terrible
