tomorrow's my birthday.

I'll get the hang of a stick, I've only had it for a day and was able to go to school and back, and pick up a pizza but not without some trouble. I hate having to learn to drive again.

Manual trasmission is the best. Learn to drive with it, it's funnier!

Automatic transmission is for old people

aah, I hated my manual 5 speed too when I got my first car. Just stick with it, you'll love it after awhile. Loved it so much when I bought my new firebird a few months back I made sure it was a stick shift.

Because they're unintelligent

Anyhoo, my first car is/will be (2 months from now... it's sitting in my driveway collecting dust) a stickshift. I don't have too many problems with it, primarily getting going in 1st and getting down my long driveway.

jesus christ you are one dumb shit. a car with an automatic transmission is more expensive because an automatic transmission is actually an extra piece of complicated (much more complicated than a simple stick & clutch) equipment for the car that changes the gears for you. better mileage is an added bonus with a manual. besides what if you were right? a dealer would price a manual transmission car cheaper than an automatic because it gets better mileage? wouldn't that be backwards? a dealer would want to charge more for a car that gets better mileage. wow. just wow. idiot.

i never got it why people can't cope with stick shifts....of course, it could be, because we here in europe actually have to learn how to drive in order to get a drivers license.....

Don't worry, you'll learn it and then you'll love it so much you'll never want to drive an automatic again.

couldn't say it better.
I'd like to know what's the fun of not really controling a car a rellying on an automatic system that cant predict situations, live reving up a low gear before climbing. Oh yeah... forgot you all have big fat underpowered engines with lots of torque at low rev. Eat my honda's 8000 rpm!

I miss my standard My first car was a standard... and now my second is an automatic... I wish my Saturn had been a standard like my vw... they're so much more more fun to drive. I feel so lazy without having to shift gears.
