To be fair and American leg weighs as much as an entire Australian. Clutching is a little too much like exercise I would think.

>tfw driving
>change from 5th to reverse
FUCK LADS HOW DO I STOP IT

>>70127075
I drive standard.

>only been driving on my own for three weeks
>don't go into 2nd properly, car goes RRRRRRR and gearstick vibrates like mad

Scared the shit out of me.

Also my car you have to push the gearstick down to go into reverse and it's next to 1 so there's no worry of going from 5th to reverse.

>be american
>stopped on mandatory police checkpoint on the road
>250lbs, 75IQ cop notices I drive manual
>get shot

>automating a menial operation is a bad thing

I know the other american who drives stick, but she lives in Japan now.

That being said, I do like manual transmission because you can arrest your drive downward by judicious use of the gears.

If you wanna race you gotta go manual

>>70127075
We have midget Aussies in our gearbox do it for us.

Driving would be boring without gears

>the azteks have urine all across their bathroom cause they don't

>>70131654
That's because people want automatics because they're lazy as Fuck just to use manual, also the majority of cars are automatic anyways

>>70131654
>nobody learns manual because auto shitboxes are way cheaper
>nobody buys new manual cars because they never learned how to drive them
>manual used cars are rare and cost more because nobody bought them new
It's a vicious cycle
