Do you drive manual or automatic transmission? Why? What did you learn first?

Manual, drove automatics all my life until 2 years ago.
I've always wanted to learn, so my last car I purchased I just had the dealer teach me in the parking lot and around the block.
Now I can't go back. Every time I get in an auto, I feel like I have no control. I get annoyed when an auto shifts too early, or doesn't downshift immediately when I need to overtake someone.
Manual is simply more fun to drive. Modern CVTs out-perform manual in acceleration, but it doesn't feel very nice.

Manual, to both questions
>why
they are simpler, more robust, allow more control, no annoying nanny lockout stuff like new cars have, and mostly it's because thats what my car has so why change it.
>>
>>15010427
I learned on manual and every vehicle I've ever owned has been a manual. I just love the feeling of pressing the clutch and selecting the gear I want for what I'm about to do. I've always felt so out of control and unhappy anytime I had to drive someone else's automatic vehicle. I know that modern auto's can be faster and more fuel efficient than manuals, but at what cost? To me it is such a fundamental part of driving that taking away the physical input required by a manual takes away the joy of driving.

I want to buy a car with pop-up headlights. Im thinking about Eclipse 1G and Celica V. I'd normally go for 200sx but it's out of my price range. I don't want a faggish car like Miata. What would you recommend, anons?

It's quite possible that after the electric cars become mainstream, we might actually get better internal combustion cars, since all the women and faggots will be removed out of the market and everything left will be made mostly for enthusiasts. Do you agree?

No, it's 100% certain, as better equals to more efficient ICE - and that's being done constantly.
With ecoterrorism large displacement fun is over.

Or perhaps all ICE's will disappear all together because the mainstream market no longer has want fo them, and small-scale production is never as lucrative as large scale

Hi
I have an mx-5 2003
The car seems to go through a lot of oil but you never see any oil leaks on the ground. It'll easily completely eat up 4L every 4-5 months.
There is what appears to be an oil leak where the red circle is and some oil marks where the blue circle is but it usually seems like it isn't much at all, feels grimey.
How fucked is my car?
