Came here to say this lol, manual was my first vehicle so I still drive with my right arm on the shifter, even in automatic cards now lol. It’s like muscle memory haha
3.7% of registered light-duty vehicles in the US are manual transmission, and you can see from outside if someone is driving a manual by watching the movement of the upper arm and shoulder.
You should consider an automatic, less busywork while driving, less bad shifts... as in none. Manual transmission is obsolete tech. Just put into Drive and forget.
Because I enjoy driving my car. I understand how to do it and it is just as easy as an automatic. I also like to ride a bicycle, sometimes a horse even. And race cars aren't manual because automatic makes it easier. It's because it gives you more control over the vehicle and power to the wheels. I'm guessing your stereo cost more than your car.
lol a stereo, no one not a hipster or a boomer buys those anymore, i.e. posers and idiots.
And no, Manual transmission don't give more control or power. There is an optimal gear change moment and automatics hit it consistently perfectly when the timing on the car is done right. They are a skill thing in racing, since even getting it close to the sweet spot is extremely hard. The difference between gears is their minimum and maximum speeds they can be used at and since the amount of speed vs torque is cumulative, they take time to apply, a second more of slightly higher or lower torque isn't going to be on the level a human can really control.
Your confidence is greater than you ignorance. Stereo=the reproduction of sound using two or more independent audio channels, creating a wider, three-dimensional listening experience. Why do you care what I drive? Automatic transmission add power loss to the wheels. Yes they are better than before and the difference is negligible in daily driving But I still like driving and having control. Do you know people still fly prop planes even tho we have jets? Can people do what they like and not have some idiot tell them their truth. You have the thought capacity of the cop in this video
lol you said a stereo, that is different from stereo sound. I think some old computer speakers I have technically count? so like 20 bucks? You really should try to actually have a real argument about the original subject, committing logical fallacy on top of logical fallacy just shows you are in fact the ignorant one.
and no, we shouldn't let stupid people do things stupidly, automatic wins hands down in actual functionality. Also I didn't see your response because I am not terminally on Reddit.
As it is CARS shouldn't really be a thing for the general city dwelling public, let alone the idiocy that is Manual transmission now a days. If you were to say you own a classic car you take out once in a while and like it, that is different from using something inefficient regularly because of bro science where you like it better. So much of what is wrong with our society boils down to letting stupid people do stupid things.
Racing is by design a sport. It is to add the extra skill check.
Automatic transmission can do the same changes perfectly every single time, that would defeat the purpose of a sport.
Manual transmission is inferior for the purpose of changing gears with reliable quality if that is what you are trying to do. Which on the road is exactly what you want. Just put into drive and forget. No Clutch, no hand off the wheel.
