You forgot to log out.

What the fuck you got against goats mothafucka?

I noticed that HIMYM reference, dont worry

probably just an american in a stick shift

Hey breh, I do just fine as an american driving my tiptronic.

..srs though, i learned to stick shift in a mountainous city. I dont think it gets much harder than that.

I have been on that, It's about a 2 hour drive from my house... It's shite...

I heard you can drive a stick shift With your mouth

it's funny, becuase if you said it was a woman you'd have green thumbs

FJ is retarded

Don't drag gender into this. I don't give a fuck if you're a woman and nobody else does. You're on the internet so you are automatically a person with little better to do than sit around.

except almost everybody in america drives stickshift, and the people with automatics complain about how they wish they had a stickshift

lol what

Where do you live? I don't know anyone who drives a stick. I only know two other people who even know how! Personally, the only manual vehicle I've ever operated on a regular basis was a really old pickup I had to use for farm work, and it was a pain in the ass.

RI, operating a stick shift isn't hard, i mean for christ's sake my aunt taught me how when i was 6, the only reason i could imagine you had trouble with the truck is that it was old and fucked up, im not a mechanic so idk how exactly it would be

I'm an American and I drive stick.

i also drive stick and am from america

i didnt realise that that was actually a thing. driving a manual car is fucking easy.

Those of us Americans that do drive stick tend to be very good at it.

To be fair though, it really isn't hard...

I can see how automatic would be good for someone who, for example, has maybe had a stroke and are significantly weaker on one side, it would be less effort for them. But if you are fully able then why not just drive manual...

Although most vehicles you find anymore are automatic

I don't know about where you live but in my place that's false as fuck. In fact, automatic cars are rarer than manual.

They're common as shit here, and I honestly don't mind them because it makes it a lot easier to drive.

Well manual cars aren't that hard to be honest. Diesel manual cars are really easy to drive. However, it's true when you say that manual cars are a bit harder but I prefer them because:
1. They are safer. If your breaks don't work, on an automatic car you're mostly fucked. In a manual car, you can slow your car down enough to make it alive.
2. Automatic cars waste more gas. You can use less fuel if you drive correctly a manual car.
3. I personally consider manual cars funnier to drive.

May I ask where do you live anyways?

Why the fuck I got thumbed down before, I was just stating that in my place automatic cars are uncommon

Fuck, I cleared my cookies because a YouTube video was being difficult and it logged me out.

In your area there must be a general sentiment that automatics are unsafe, whereas in mine the sentiment is that stick shifts are clumsier and much more unsafe especially when dealing with the weather.

Well the "general sentiment" in my area is that automatic cars are less efficient than manual ones. That's why people tend to drive them. I never thought automatic are that unsafe. Just slightly.

Actually my automatic car has quite a few failsafes in place if the brakes fail including an automatic break lock and is easy to put into neutral, which slows the car down if the break fails.

I disagree on that point as well, I have such a great fuel efficiency on my car that 30 bucks fills the whole tank, and at the most half a tank will get me two hours of driving.

I personally feel better in my automatic. The features I shelled out a ton of money for make it much safer than stick shift, which is the general sentiment in my area.

Connecticut.

You must have a new brand car because I never heard of automatic cars having such features. Automatic cars usually (not saying is your case too) tend to speed up the engine more than they should because that's how they work. I may be mistaken with the new brands, I'm not an expert.

I have a 16 years old Volkswagen Polo and 40 bucks last me more or less 1 month and a half of using the car daily for about 1 hour so I'm really content with it. I suppose that if such an old engine has that efficiency, newer ones have better.

Well, I'm Spaniard and here automatic cars aren't that common, that's why I said it. I'm not trying to persuade anyone to use manual cars, everyone should drive what they want. I was simply pointing my reasons.

Shifting into neutral has been a feature of automatics for a very long time... nowadays, we are instructed during driver's ed to put a car, any car, with failed breaks (or someone who is speeding and not listening to reason) into neutral and then edge it over to the side. Neutral basically is a crawl and it can slow down a car very quickly.

I see. I've never driven an automatic car, I've just been talked about them. I thought shifting to neutral could break the engine or something, like in a manual car you can't simply shift from 4th to 1st if you're going too fast.
Here we're taught to drive manual cars, not automatic.

lets not be sexist

And racist either

samefag, but still funny as hell

what's the joke?

really skilled marksman

That's not what he meant. He meant how did it not decay
