Stop, thread. You're making me remember all the times I did all of these greentexts.

Although I do miss the automatic at times, it's not worth going back. At least not yet.

Wrenching builds anticipation I forgot I once knew about.

Reminds me of what my mum did few months ago when she got her first automatic car. Until then she only had manuals for 20+ years.

Stay cucked

all of these greentexts are breddy gud and it doesn't sound like theyre making fun of automatics at all

>>17510095
There are plenty of stories about americans not being able to drive manuals, and this works both ways.
I read the other day on BBC about a guy in England trying to steal a car and he gave up when he couldn't move on because it was automatic

I get stall anxiety every time I come to a stopsign now
