>he fell for the "winter tires are a meme" meme

Is this the dumbest/worst one you can fall for?

>>16475288
Pretty much
I don't think there are any other regularly memed memes where if you do or don't follow the meme, you have a much higher than normal likelihood of crashing your car and/or someone gets seriously injured

I literally bought a manual and then got a manual swap in my current project thanks to /o/ Jay Leno and Jeremy Clarkson manual memes.

Not disappointed in the slightest.

>Actually heel toeing with you heel and your toe.

How fucking small are his feet?

>>16475304
Asians are tiny. Also that cars pedal box is set up for it, the average car not so much.

>>16475185
why is he pushing in the gas, break and the clutch in at the same time?

Because gas gas gas?

>>16475304
It would likely be easy for non-Asians in manual trucks or something with a big footwell

>>16475304
Probably his RHD car has extra space in the footwell to permit his right heel to do this. Some LHD cars are worse than their RHD counterparts for heel-toe because the transmission tunnel gets in the way.

A typical manual is a meme. You're not going to compete with a modern DCT on the track unless you switch to shift dogs and tune your ECU for no-lift shifting, and you'll never come close in convenience and comfort.

I feel like manual is the hipster beard of cars. It used to be held in high regard because it was associated with work and results, but now that we have autos that are significantly better than the slushboxes of old it's the opposite, so it's been reduced to a vanity item.

>>16476228

Or maybe you smashed your shifting hand/pulled your shoulder in the garage and want to drive without fucking it up further

>>16476268
Even if you're not. Do you think being young when something was in style justifies using it today?

I'd rather drive stick than a low end slushbox, but there are much better options out now. If you're not a numale, the actual results of being handsome and clean shaven in a paddle-shifting lexus trump how gentlemanly you feel/think you look with your shitty beard and manual BMW

>>16476302
>Do you think being young when something was in style justifies using it today?
Liking it does.
And it's laughable to be called a hipster because people now use what you always have.

Manual sucks for daily commutes to work. Inching forward in rush-hour traffic, killing my foot and the clutch. I would prefer to take my Si out during weekend drives

>>16476836

Dood you only kill the clutch if you ride it and race away from every light, why are people scared of manuals/stick shift

>>16476071

>>16476234
Well, there's a couple of small problems. If you can afford to buy new cars and change them regularly, it maybe works like you present it. Otherwise, there's HUGE drawback in those damn gearboxes - the little, unimportant thing called "reliability". DCT is complex and failure prone hardware, unlike classic hydrotransformer based AT's or MT's. If MT is of sound design and enough spare strenght for the application, it will likely live longer than car, even if it's being kept on road for 20-25 years. Classic AT could also do that, only it requires service - DCT is too young thing, but it has already shown that it's not promising.

Also, with MT it's you who control the car - with any AT it's the TCU which does that, not you - well, you have some buttons to influence it, but the TCU still has the upper hand.

If you classify base mustangs, camaros, and challengers as sports cars, then yes.

I drive a manual, and I like using it, and that's OK.

Some people drive automatics because they're easier to use, that's OK.

Some people use paddle shifters for some reason or another, and that's OK.

What's the problem?

Manual transmissions in LHD cars ARE a meme though.

I drive an LHD two seater, and you couldn't pay me to fuck it up with an automatic system.

Clean your fucking headlights.

If that's what you like driving get a manual but don't act like you are doing anything special and important by having one. Anyone can learn to do it...
