You can't get a car with a stick even if you want it. The automatic transmissions have gotten so good now that there isn't a need for manual shift, this isn't the 70s.

Oh the humanity

>>77695712
There's literally no good reason to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission nowadays. Unless you're trying to be edgy, of course. Why are yuros so against convenience, and evolving technology?

How about Japan? They still buy most of their music on CDs like time froze in 1995.

What did he mean by this?

>>77696136
It's just something people who've never driven a manual (and yanks) say

>>77695712
americans don't really have roads, just highways.
Poor americans, not enjoying rally races everyday for free.

>>77696114
by they do you mean a very small percentage of hipsters?

>>77695960
It's not a question of availability. You can get any car in automatic variant in Europe but they only exist for mums who just drive to Tesco

I always liked these compact pickups but you can't buy the damned things anymore.

>>77696014
this. only literal rural and suburban retards ride stick in the current year

>>77696014
Because it's fun and I'm not a child, woman or cripple.

>>77696203
Most (like 80%) of music in Japan is sold on physical formats, they're quite laughably backwards in a lot of ways, for example offices still depend a lot on pencil and paper and they've never quite mastered computerization.

We do it automatically... isn't hard.

>>77695712
Is this really a perception of Americans?

Maybe it is due to living in Michigan and its associated car culture, but almost everyone I know can drive a manual

>>77696247
this, it's fun to accelerate

>>77696244
I just grabbed a Ford Ranger 4 cylinder for 3k, with topper, rust free body, and 90k miles.

>>77696014
What if you think it's more fun? Is that allowed, milord?

>>77696333
Really? Because memes aside, we do think that manual or "stick shift" is rare and impossible for most Americans.

>>77696055
bullshit. show another example. it is usually quite the opposite.

>>77696458
It could be a regional or cultural thing.

Michigan is the heartland of American automotive industry and culture, so I can't speak for the rest of the country.

I'm also 30, and most of my peers learned to drive manual as teenagers, given that their first cars were 80s and 90s hand-me-downs.

>>77696247
also probably cheaper. automatic is a luxury option in europe.

>reverse in front left

I prefer it when it's bottom right, it's not a big deal.

>>77696452
>>77696282
ah those excuses again about having "fun" driving a stick in a stop and go traffic. this whole "fun" thing is a legend faithfully preserved in europe and passed onto younger generations. for starters, none of you even owned an automatic. so you wouldn't know if it is fun or not.

>>77696542
Well, I for one do stand corrected.

>>77696287
huh
what about all these documentaries where they do nothing but suck japans cock and show you how futuristic they are?

>>77696716
please be bait

>>77696716
It reminds me of this
>heh, fucking americans and their stupid mcmansions and obsession with property ownership! living in a tiny house or apartment for 2500 euros a month in the middle of urban sprawl is the patrician's way. B)

>>77696716
kek I've only owned 1(/10) automatic vehicle but have driven plenty. I know you can get some really good automatic gearboxes these days, but the only cars I'd get in automatic are very high end luxury or sports cars.

Aren't cars with sticks more durable over time? Like, you don't fuck up the engine as much?

>>77696781
>what about all these documentaries where they do nothing but suck japans cock and show you how futuristic they are?
Documentaries made by really retarded weebs? Japan hasn't been at the forefront of technology for 30 years.

>>77696837
it doesn't have to do with the engine but with the trans itself
a manual is easier to look after and cheaper to fix

>>77696837
american shitboxes will happily go for hundreds of thousands of miles, the german reliability meme is wrong

>>77696919
>the german reliability meme is wrong
Maybe it was true in the 80s. Anything German made in the last 20+ years is a flaky piece of junk that needs constant (and expensive) maintenance.

>>77696868
interesting
still kinda doubtful tbough,they still make neat shit

>>77696951
not really

Some of them are. You just need to avoid some specific models.

>>77696821
the truth, unless you are a professional racer or something, you wouldn't appreciate the marginal advantage in "control" that a stick gives you compared to the modern automatic transmission.

>>77695712
I can drive stick though
I pity those that can't, especially urbancucks who will probably get their car stolen at some point because it's easy enough for the local chimps to operate

>>77697294
yeah,that's what they need, instead of installing some kind of an anti theft device, they should drive a fucking stick in their nightmare traffic. will serve them right for being urbancucks and not moving to suburbia.

>>77697176
t-that's almost entirely the opposite of what i said anon

pretty much everything makes the American sweat

>>77697663
is that common?
with a manual car, you can lock the clutch pedal and the steering wheel together.

>>77698331
what do you mean common
manual is very uncommon here, to the point where you could get it and thieves would be unaware of how to drive it

>>77698465
I meant the stealing.

>be me
>poor american
>couldn't afford the extra $200 for an automatic transmission
>have to use my left foot when driving

life isn't fair buds

>>77698591
I don't think its that common to get your car stolen but its more insurance than anything

>>77698591
i don't know what they are talking about.
all modern cars have engine immobilizers. so random niggers can't steal them. and why would a professional thief not know how to drive a stick. so a stick as a theft prevention sounds retarded.
