You're no carguy if you don't know how to shift

lmao at least i can afford more than a 30ccm lawnmower engine as my daily driver, achmet
lmao enjoy your muslims

>>16940090
It's what comes from the utter lack of professional education in the US. Their schools don't even teach things properly. It's like the nation WANTS to be morons.

>>16940090
enjoy your 1.2 liter diesel econoshitbox, mohammed. but hey at least it's manual, right?

>>16940090
I bang 3 on the tree daily, how many of you fuckers can say that

>>16940090
"The third pedal is also bad for re-sale value, on average selling for $2,000 less than cars with automatic transmissions."
This is just a flat out lie.
Manual cars go for a premium on the used market in the US.

>>16940630
I mean it could be right. You think like an enthusiast and probably look at enthusiast cars where of course the manual is gonna be more.

They probably did their research with the whole market so Nissan Versas, Civics, Mitusbishi Mirage POS, etc, etc.

People looking for econoboxes just to get from point A to point B in burger land are def gonna filter out all manuals instead of learning something new.

My friend got a steal on a brand new Versa for like 8k OTD cause they couldn't move the few manuals they got on the lot.

>>16940090
Anybody know the last year you can buy a Lexus is250 with a stick?

>>16940634
its true, got my sanic for well below its automatic counterparts used market value.

>>16940630
It's true for new cars though.

>this fox is happy because he cannot reach the grapes anymore.
TFW drive manual for fun, but I also drive an auto to work.
Inb4 you do both and have both. You would have said I do both.

>>16940667
I don't have both at the moment. I would have both if I had the space and money for it.

>>16940497
They teach how to drive Manual in you country?

>>16940675
They give you drivers licenses if you can't drive manuals in your country?

>>16940090
3/4 of my vehicles are manual though.
Sooo.....

I can drive manual. But you know what? An automatic transmission does all the shifting...automatically. So like most Americans that just need to get from A to B, that's what I chose to buy.

>>16940696
this, really.

Automatic shitbox for commuting to work, manual funbox for dicking around and hooning in.

I live in a mountainous area, fuck dealing with hill starts plus bumper to bumper traffic for an hour both ways every day.

>>16940675
In the UK you need to pass your test on a manual to drive manual. If you test in an autotragic then you get a little cuckstamp on your licence that means you can't legally drive manual

less than 4% of all new cars sold in the USA are manual.

Go eat a crusty old dick, manuals will soon be the equivalent of hand cranking an engine to start it.

fuck you, numale faggot. Stop killing everything related to testosterone

>she turned out to be autistic
Noice.

>>16940667
Tfw you drive a manual as your daily and have an automatic car as your weekend cruiser "I only take it out on nice days"

I know how, but I prefer auto.

Everyone has to learn to drive shift where I live.

2010

America, most pathetic country in the world. It must be hard to be a real car lover over there.

Why were autos more popular even 40 years ago? I can see how they would be today in the era of actual decent automatic gearboxes, but in the 70s and 80s there were some horrendous 2 or 3-speed useless fucking piles of shit in 100lb 5 litre V8s. Who chooses to spend money on that?

>>16940980
>100lb
I meant 100hp, fuck knows why I said lbs.

>>16940980

And then a bunch of dumb teenagers gang you and say " I drive manual in hard core traffic every day it's GREAT!I'M A FUCKING TRUE ENTHUSIAST ASSHOLE, YOU'RE NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR CAR GET OFF /o/ IF YOU THINK IT'S JUST A TO B"

Nice lol, here you can't even get a base Alto for that money

>An automatic transmission does all the shifting

Bus driver does all the shifting, steering, braking.

If you didn't want to drive, just say so.

>>16940675
Yes. They don't teach it in your country?

>>16940730
This. 'But I can only drive automatics' will get you laughed the fuck out of anywhere. Even my grandmother drives a manual, and she's 90 and learned in the days before synchromesh.

>>16940720
Live somewhere different, fuckstick.

>>16940675
Through polish driving license exam, you have to show that you're able to hill start before you'll even be allowed to get out on the street. Stalling is either instant exam failure or single error that can't happen twice, i don't remember this rule perfectly but it sure was one of two.

We're all driving manual here though. Poland is still relatively poor, and there is nothing better for a poorfag than manual. I bought car with broken transmission and used replacement in good condition costed me ~60 dollars.
