How many of you DONT drive?

[Shpongled]

Fuck that. I've driven a manual my whole life and I'm tired of it. Next car will be automatic for sure.

Bad drivers are the reason we have bad drivers. Not automatic transmissions. Besides... what do you think would happen if all these "monkeys" drove manuals instead? You really think that'd make things BETTER?

I don't know how to drive stick shift and I'm never going to learn.

 

[Shpongled]

Ignorant idea if you ask me. I think everyone should know how to drive one. Chances are high that a time will come when you'll wish you knew how. Also, they're fun.

Manuals are where it's at.

Fuck you Paul. 21? What are you, an idiot? Public Transportation isn't very reliable in most places, and when you gotta go 20+ miles a day to work or school, the greyhound isn't a great idea.

 

[Mephistophiliac]

Driving a manual here is just not practical.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

To be quite honest I don't know anything about manual, or why it would be advantageous. I've only been driving for two years...What purpose does it serve?

 

[Captain Beard]

It ISN'T of much advantage anymore. gas mileages are only 1-2 mpg difference, and automatics are just as reliable as manuals now. The only reason to have a manual is a sports car for performance shifting. I learned in one, and don't care to be arsed to drive another unless it's a truck or supercharged racer.

There's not really any advantage to driving a manual. The reason I think everyone should know how to drive them is because they still exist. You never know when you might need to drive one in an emergency.

 

[Captain Beard]

True. If I have to, I can drive stick like a stuntman. I just don't like to.

Oh...well I guess I'll get the old man to teach me next time I see him then.

Not to mention that if you drive a manual correctly, you get a slightly better gas mileage as opposed to an automatic transmission.

Haha do your thing man, it's just my opinion. Just knowing the basics and general concept of it helps quite a bit.

For the record, I still don't know how to operate a motorcycle heh.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

My dad tried to teach me to drive stick on the autobahn. Still can't do it.

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

I'm one of those losers that can't live without my own vehicle. Not that I go anywhere or do stuff, but it's THERE, sitting in my driveway taking up 400 dollars of my money a month. And I COULD drive it if I wanna. Totally worth the 400.

 

[Captain Beard]

I paid $1100 a month to get it out of the way. Me > you.

I've probably driven your car as much as you have.

 

[Captain Beard]

You'd be nearly correct. I've put 8-10k on it and you put what, 1000? You'd like it now that everything including the stereo WORKS. Stupid bastards... we figured out someone broke it during a fluid change and tried to hide it. Edit: The radiator, a plastic bit that the drainhose attached to.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

It is what, exactly?

 

[Captain Beard]

I fixed the above post.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

Nismo FTW.

What was the $1,100 /mo?
