I still dont get why manual driving is so beloved
>wow dude im setting le gears myself i have so much control and i cn downshift early on for a speedboost so crazy dude

>>28581571 (OP)
It really is obly new drivers who get excited by manuals.
Its just a switch after all, its not magic.

>>28581571 (OP)
I literally don't get how automatics are enjoyable
>wow dude my toy can shift itself, drive itself and slow down on its own because im not smart enough to do that on my own nor do i care

post interesting things

In the 1990s you could buy a Japanese shitbox with a 5-speed for less than autos and you could throw gears and smoke all the regular traffic around you on the streets. It was fucking awesome back then. Also, gen Z retards don't know how to drive them so they can't steal your car.

There are a few factors at play here:
>Manuals are cheaper
Not the case anymore up front, but they're still easier/cheaper to fix and rebuild
>Manuals keep you in the peak power band better
Used to be the case when autos had 3-4 speeds and manuals had 5-6 speeds. Still sometimes the case if your automatic transmission is tuned for fuel efficiency instead of power
>Manuals switch gears faster
Used to be the case, not anymore
>Manuals give you more control over power delivery
This will always be the case until CVTs become good or flappy paddles + tiptronic/DCT transmissions come stock on every car
>Manuals are more fun
Factually wrong assuming you're a blank slate driver, but some people (boomer/europistan enthusiasts) are more familiar with clutch pedals than paddles and prefer them as a result

Solid analysis

I feel like half the manual "enthusiasts" are just posers who need to overcompensate for their average driving skills

>>28581571 (OP)
You wouldn't get it.
>>28581647
>Factually wrong
Incorrect.
>>28581681
Just get better at driving, dude.

>>28581621
because it is? its literally what a car does, it opens and closes valves, it inject fuel, it makes it bang, it creates power ready to be sendt to the wheels... but somehow you controlling the gear ratio of this power transfer is a hell of a deal? grow up.
my car i get into 6th at 50kmh and i keep it there for the entire drive, thats how fun manual is in a torqy car.

>>28581571 (OP)
Wow, dude, I don't have to do as much maintenance or be stuck if this shit doesn't start. Oh my god, it's crazy how I like having reliable things that also allow me to keep focused on driving instead of the xboxhueg screen in the middle of my dashboard.
Listen here, faggot. I get that it's not your cup of tea, but lots of people enjoy it, like shooting a bolt-action rifle with irons, or brewing your coffee outside of a machine. It's not "better" in an objective sense, but it does feel better to some. Are you going to complain about anchovies on pizza now?

Dopamine hit

Large dopamine hit

I still don't get why ICE engines are so beloved
>wow dude look at all these vibrations and noise and delayed power delivery and I have to go recharge the car somewhere instead of letting it recharge overnight at my garage and it costs more to recharge as well so crazy dude

>>28581571 (OP)
niggas have power steering and think they drive a manual. get on my level

>>28582285
philistines have an engine that generates torque on their behalf and think they drive a manual. get on my level

>>28582298
rapscallions travel using a vehicle and not their own two feet. get on my level

Only autists, some boomers, and little kiddos who dont even have a license are obsessed with manuals

>>28581621
>because im not smart enough
India and africa have an IQ of 75. The cars there are 95% manal transmission.
Why do you retards pretend its something related to how smart you are?
>nor do i care
If I cared enough I could use the paddles to up and downshift.

>>28582313
I'm not the kind of dude who gives people a hard time over driving an auto, but like... if you fashion yourself as a "car guy" and drive a sports car around, and it has an auto transmission... it's like, what's the point? Everyone thinks you're a poser even if they aren't saying it out of politeness.

>>28582318
>what's the point
To have fun. There are many ways you can have fun in a car that don't involve shifting gears.
>Everyone thinks you're a poser
By everyone you mean
>autists, some boomers, and little kiddos who dont even have a license
Regular well adjusted ordinary people don't really care what car you drive.
If anything driving a manual sports car in america will earn you the meme of being a boyracer tryhard, especially if your car isnt fast enough to back it up.
Which is why I ask, if your car goes 0-60 in less than 4.5 seconds and sends power to the front wheels, it's like, what's the point? Everyone thinks you're a poser even if they aren't saying it out of politeness.

Lol what a fag

lol I wanted to play with a stick in my car I'd take out my benis :DDD fuggg :DDDD

>>28581571 (OP)
black africa exclusively imports automatic gears from civilized continents you retarded baboon

>>28581571 (OP)
its fun
that is all

That being said the autists who think they're a legend driver because they can drive a manual and look down on people who don't want to (or can't) are retarded and should go to super hell

I still don't get why beef wellington is so beloved
>wow dude just get a mcdouble

>>28582329
Okay buddy. I will smile and give you a thumbs up just like everyone does to you IRL. Have fun.

also
>Regular well adjusted ordinary people don't really care what car you drive.
Car guys are not regular well adjusted people

>>28582403
your 5 spd manual shitbox is not a beef wellington

>>28582534
>>28582403
Beef wellington sucks, so his 5 speed could for sure be one.

yeah I'm just going to disregard your whole post

This is just cope. Nobody really even cares except guys already insecure about driving autos. Every person who's come into my car either didn't care or had a positive reaction to seeing the stick shifter. Girls think it's some kind of arcane art and it makes them feel safe and wet being with a competent man with strong forearms rowing through the gears. Plus it literally is more fun, it stimulates the mind while you drive

>>28581571 (OP)
Lol I heard a cvt with a rice pipe yesterday holy fuckkk that shit sounded gay, slushboxes always sound gay as fuck but a cvt would be downright torture. Anyway, you're a ricer.
