You have 10 seconds to explain why you don't drive stick
I'm not a fucking European
>>699226222
because my car is broke
and i have to use my step-dad's
and he's a fat fuck with bad knees
so it's an auto
>>699226222
My dad gave me his old car and it is automatic. If I got my own I would get a standard. Fucking love clutch dumping.
>>699226222
It's easier to play pokemon in an automatic

I'm American and I don't have to. Also only faggots get trips.
>>699226644
>I don't know how to
P-please be gentle, anon-sama
>>699226222
But I do tho.
Never understood the elitism between choosing one or the other. Both have their pros and cons.
Standard is fun as fuck and it feels like you're actually making the car work for you. Automatic is nice to just relax and drive around town and hitting up the pokestops.
>>699226222
I do. Got disel and electric too. Tripple digits.
I do drive stick you cunt.
>>699226222
because my current car and motorcycle are manuals
as were 5 of the last 6 cars I owned
and the 1 auto was bc I needed a car and didn't have time to shop for a manual in my price range
I have all my life, but the commute traffic has gotten to be too much. A WRX in traffic is not ideal.

Power glide.

>>699226222
Because it's the future.
The year is now 2016.
Automatic transmissions are incredibly efficient compared to just 10 years ago much less 20 or even 30 years ago.
There is absolutely no reason to drive a stick unless you have a fancy sports car or something and want to feel that control over the car. You use a stick when you drive for fun, but it can get old having to shift otherwise.
>>699227576
Damn son
Just make sure not to drive too close to any crowds of people though
cause I don't make love to my cousin.
>>699227799
My quadruple dubs do NOT LIE.
Having said that, my '85 BMW (manual transmission) was fun as hell to drive. It had custom clutch and was very low geared. Shifting was fun as hell in that car.

Not necessary anymore, modern automatics are much more efficient than you will ever be. Would rather have a free hand to jerk off and not have to worry about gear switching.
Besides, my car is an automatic with manual gear switching as well. So who gives a fuck.
>>699228730
It becomes second nature for me it's just the same when im crusing it's just way more fun when you're taking corners. and you get better mpg.

Because I'm tired of driving stick, been doing it for 7 years now and I honestly prefer the convenience of an automatic.
>>699228730
Never shift and you're fine. Unused to downshift, not anymore.
>>699226222
how to learn to drive the stick with an automatic car?
>>699229922
Let up on clutch until it begins to tug before you release brake. Problem solved
>>699229948
Disengage clutch, shift to neutral. Engage clutch again, then disengage and shift to desired gear.
Because I drive a chevy suburban
>>699229948
When you push in the clutch and rev match to a lower gear so that when you down shift it's not as hard on the drivetrain to adgust to the gearing change
>>699229632
Kek
Driving stick is too hard for me, I literally find it too hard to drive. Automatic is easy and chill
>>699226222

Tap the clutch shift out of a gear tap clutch again shift into next gear it's a dead art but still required during most cdl exams

AH! Thanks! That's what I thought, just never been sure.
>>699229562
It's not a troll it is true.
Manual transmissions, otherwise known as "stick shifts" have transferred into the realm of hipster-ism.
It is an inconvenient and outdated technology that exists ONLY to make a select few individuals somehow feel like they are "better" than others because they choose to use some obscure method of driving that few others choose to do.
While it is true that years ago a manual had practical benefits (better gas mileage) that is simply no longer the case.
There is absolutely reason to drive a manual on a new car unless you are an insufferable hipster.
In conclusion, yes. A stick shift is indeed a car fedora.

>>699229229
In older cars, yes. You get better MPG.
In new cars with new automatic this is not true. You do not get better MPG. There is no practical benefit to a manual transmission in modern cars. In fact, modern automatics get better gas mileage than a manual.
>>699229650
13 speed here
>>699230489
I'd almost agree with you, except it is important to me that I can work on my stick truck at home, without 6 different proprietary computer gizmos and permission for a software unlock from the factory.. Sticks, particularly older ones that age well still have a place.
>>699230130
or just stop being an insufferable hipster and drive an automatic like everyone else who isn't a douchebag.
>>699226222
Because they dont make them anymore
>>699230972
26 speed here.
>>699230489
It is still the case, a manual transmission always weighs less than it's automatic counterpart, always offers more efficient power transfer to the driveline no matter how close newer automatics get, and clearly you have never driven a manual because it's very engaging and fun and really isn't really something there for "hipsters" or people who want to be better. I understand wanting an automatic for convenience or long trips, but it is certainly not a "car fedora" that is actually b8.
>>699231009
OK, you have a point. I had not thought of that.
As a former grease monkey I should have thought of that. However, I have simply had not had time or patience to work on my car myself for years so I did not.
Yes, if you want the convenience of fixing a transmission yourself a manual is still the way to go . I will concede your point on this.
Already have enough to do playing Pokemon, shitposting and drinking coffee. Manual is pleb. Use technology.

Simpler and more reliable than a torque converter in an automatic which cost more to work on, but nice try.
I couldn't imagine owning this car in automatic... And besides, the trim model I bought only comes in a 6 speed manual.
>>699231713
Modern automatic transmission lasts 250k - 300k miles, same as engine rebuild.
>>699231619
Autos are coming close, It's getting more and more basically the same i'll give you that. But it will never surpass them and they will alway be more fun. It's not a bad thing to drive an auto i was just arguing that calling a manual fedora was really obvious b8,
I'm lazy

>>699226222
I used to. Then I moved to a city where traffic had me between first gear and a dead stop playing the clutch for 3 hours, twice daily. Limp around long enough and you learn your lesson.

Nothing connects man to machine more than a good stick and clutch. Clicking paddles, or moving a lever will never be the same as a perfect shift around a corner. Don't get me wrong; the new generation of automatics are great, but they simply can't match the feel of a good stick.

Just learn how to drive in general if you have 20 tons behind you.
Seriously, it's like 90% of the truck drivers on the interstate in the last 10 years are literally retarded.
"Oh, there's a huge hill coming up soon? Better get in the passing lane so I can slow down traffic for everyone else until I inevitably drop below 45mph and have to get back into the lane I just fucking came from without actually accomplishing the pass I switched lanes to do in the first place.
EVERY FUCKING DAY.
It's gotten so bad that I have seriously considered (and after reading this WILL DO) getting a dash camera and I absolutely WILL REPORT every, single, fucking, jack-ass truck driver who does this shit as well as all the other jack-assery I see from truck drivers in the last few years.
You know those, "How am I driving?" numbers?
I'm going to start calling them. If that doesn't work, I'm going to social media or whatever it takes to get this shit-class drivers off the road until trucking companies actually develop some standards for their drivers.
ESPECIALLY the ones who do this shit:
>Be me driving on interstate at around 70MPH in far-right lane.
>Slowly coming up on 18-wheeler doing 65MPH or so.
>I use turn signal and go into passing lane to go around.
>Be in passing lane and 30 or so feet from said 18-wheeler when SUDDENLY
>18-wheeler driver decides to let Satan take the wheel and darts into the passing lane, despite my obvious presence 10 feet from their bumper forcing me to slam on my brakes.
>18-wheeler driver then decides to take 25 minutes to pass a car going 65 MPH by going 65.01MPH themselves.
>The car the 18-wheeler driver is passing speeds up to 65.5 MPH.
>This does not concern the 18-wheeler driver who continues to go 65.01.
>10 minutes later the vehicle the 18-wheeler driver was attempting to pass is now far ahead of them.
>18-wheeler driver goes back into right-hand lane.

honestly your scenario seems more a jackass deciding to speed up when being passed. though i personally would have let you by before passing the slower car.

EVERY GOD DAMNED DAY. I would swear that truck drivers drive like assholes on purpose if I didn't happen to know for a fact that most of them are now inexperienced dumbshits looking for a higher paycheck than the McDonalds job they were working literally 2 days before they were approved to drive a 50-ton road machine.
It's fucking stupid. I'm not a big fan of making laws to force things because you would think common sense should apply, but the companies doing this shit do not give a FUCK. It's sad that it seems a law will need to be made before these things happen.

Dude.
I'm not even kidding.
In my daily commute to work Monday-Friday on my way home there are two steep hills on the interstate (maybe 5% grade? I dunno, but pretty steep) in my 20 mile drive.
Almost every single day a truck will be behind another truck going slowly up the hill and decide they are going to pass.
Of course, on that steep a grad ANY truck will not be able to handle it AND accelerate at the same time.
They will end up going to the passing lane, end up going SLOWER or the SAME SPEED as the truck they are attempting to pass and either end up making EVERYONE go 50MPH up the hill OR end up going back to the right-hand lane after a few minutes of them being side-by-side.
Oh and they have NO regard for vehicles about to pass them if they decide to switch to the passing lane.
It's annoying for sure. But, my biggest point here is that it seriously happens almost every day. I'm not kidding, it happens almost EVERY DAY.
My wife notices it too and so do my co-workers. We all complain and joke about how shit the truck drivers are here.
My wife is easily startled. If she is a passenger and we were just out for the day and going home I cannot count the number of times she has let out a little yelp at these hills when a truck basically pulls into the passing lane and cuts us off/almost hits us.
This is in Missouri on I-44 by the way.

Did you mean "stop picking on me, uncle dad is already pissed at me for taking a picture of his dirty car."?
>>699226222
we've progressed past the archaic technology of manual gear shifting
>>699226222
It's easier to drive non-stick and I'm not a faggot
>>699226222
its just for wannabes. look at me, im driving stick in heavy traffic hurr durr, first gear, second gear, first gear hurr durr, such professional driver such wow.
Man drive automatic to put the right hend and the lap of the girl on the codrivers seat.
Cause I can't drive since I totalled my car
>>699237924
Owwie
>>699226644
Only if you're a retard. Shifting is easy shit
as a germanfag I can confirm:
Auto is way better than manual.
>>699236884
>>699237392
And even for fast cars, usually manual is worse. Lamborghini is using sequential stick (wich is essentiall auto with the option to do manual), same goes for most sports and racing cars. There was a time when auto would reduce the power of a car, but those times are long gone, at least for more expensive cars.
>>699228512
true
Can't play pokemon.
>>699226222
You have 10 seconds to explain why you can't drive a semi.
Pro tip: I can.
>>699228285
You can't shift into first smoothly? Wut
>depress clutch
>move stick to 1st
>release clutch
How hard is that?
>>699237986
...And everyone with one of those newfangled wondercars is basically driving a paperweight if some enterprising third world despot manages an EMP attack...
>>699226222
One down, five up.
Lose the training wheels... nerd.
>>699238466
You still won't be able to start your car though, even if it is a manual, ECU, and various other controllers are electronic on your engine, only purely mechanical cars can survive an EMP
>>699237874
Yup, fast enough for me. I think it's like a second slower on auto but I'm not sure.
>>699236153
Fast enough. I don't really care for 0-60 acceleration all that much. Handling is great stock, breaks necks while driving through the city, relatively lightweight/doesn't feel bloated, and it has plenty of mod options when the time comes. If I had a chance to get a new car again, I'd still get the BRZ/FRS/GT86.
>>699237767
But why on earth would you start going up the hill then decide to try to pass when you KNOW, you SHOULD KNOW, that it will be impossible for you to do so?
I mean, if you know for a fact that your truck will not be able to maintain speed while going up the hill- and you know for a fact that you will, in fact, lose speed while going up the hill - why would you STILL TRY TO PASS.
Also, why the fuck would you cut across to the passing lane when you see a line of smaller cars closing in on you in the passing lane to pass (because they can actually maintain speed on a hill) and force them all to slow down from 70MPH to 60MPH behind you.
Why would you do such a thing unless you were a completely inconsiderate asshole? You would have to do such a thing ON PURPOSE.
You KNOW what you are doing is being an asshole and you do it ON PURPOSE. Not only that, but you put the people behind you in danger by causing the lead car to have to brake so that they don't crash into your truck driving dumb ass.
>>699238463
Depends what power the car has. If its a shitty 1.5l then you gotta give it some nicely timed revs on the depress
I broke my foot today with over 45 separate fractures.
So I can't.
lazy and retarded
>>699234285
Modern auto trans lasts 250-300k easy, same as engine rebuild.
>>699238844
m8, I learned a long time ago not to try to justify other's idiotic actions. I only pass when there's no one behind me and I know i can make it up the hill. if douche macgee decides to speed up that's on him and i'll have to let him go and get back over.
muh parents had no car so had to pay for lessons, getting auto license first and then i'll try to learn manual
6 speed vtec master race here
>>699238879
Didn't read the thread, so thanks I guess.
>>699238995
It doesn't need to be well timed, just get up to a couple k revs before releasing the clutch.
I don't fucking know fam I have a turbo diesel
>>699238766
Funny you should mention that. My truck is fully mechanical; No compys whatsoever. That's why I got it. Hate working on chip controlled parts.
>>699226222
I'm only 11 dude.
Jk but i don't have my own car yet because I'm broke and I don't have a job because I'm a huge faggot who shitposts on 4chan all day.
i lost both hands in a street race.
>>699239358
Honesty like this is rare.
Calling a manual "stick"...
>>699239416
Using VTT, to post?
>>699238463
It ain't that easy for a new driver mate. You have to get just the right amount of revs when you get to the bite point, and you have to release the right point. Otherwise the engine will start lugging or conversely you'll jolt forward, which is obviously not a smooth shift.
>>699239514
Thanks fam.
I recently got my driving licence, learned to drive with stick, no problem. Then my dad wanted me to drive him somewhere, and his car was different, and everything went clusterfuck once I was in traffic. eversince then, I have a fucking anxiety if I'm thinking about driving. Wondering if I should ever be driving or get an automatic car.
>>699232934
Nah bro get it in 4th going 45-50 and light on up. No problem especially if you can drive with your knee. You don't need that clutch foot when you're just cruising
>>699232525
Shoudn't the 9/4 AND 10/5 be swapped?
I am
>>699233064
If traffic is that thick. Walking is faster.
Take a bicycle ....
>>699236191
Traffic circles, any sort of yielding situation, rolling stops on stop signs
>>699239868
yes ye they should
>>699240108
(And almost every bicycle is EMP proof.)
becuz im the dumbass who needed a car quickfast and is now stuck with a shitty automatic mazda & a dead stick 97jetta (lower control arm bent, battery gone, needs brakes). Trying to sell both for a new manual.
>>699239267
Sweet! Although I guess you would still have to bump start it in an EMP, but that's not difficult.
Btw what's your ride?
>>699240157
Okay I follow ya. Why not just clutch in and rev match it when you need to get moving again? Just wondering. Those 2nd gear stalls are pretty violent.
>>699239764
driving at all*
>>699226565
d -> p
>>699240544
I do usually, but when I first bought that car it took a moment to get used to. I used to have a truck that could handle that sort of thing.
>>699240767
Other times I'll just throw it in first
>>699235786
my nigga. I have an 07 myself.
>>699240468
An ancient Toyota light pickup. I have bump started it by kicking off with my left leg out the door on flat ground.
>>699240767
Fair enough, I did some goofy stuff when I first started daily driving a manual. I had the concept down, just hadn't learned some of the finer points of shifting (rev matching, heel-toe, etc.)

>>699226222
I have no reason to. I'm just getting from point a to point b. I'm not competitively racing or some shit, I'm just driving. Why wouldn't I want a more convenient experience via an automatic shift? I don't need to fucking min/max my car.
>>699239045
Thats what you are but what am i?
>>699240767
The only thing that still very occasionally fucks with me is getting going on an incline, but I live in Florida where it's flat as a frying pan almost everywhere so it's not too big a deal. Being in heavy traffic on bridges is the only time I have to worry about it, people here like to stop a foot off your back bumper.
>>699226222
Because my brz is dual shift.. I can have both
>>699233676
because its a shitpost, shiteater
>>699241387
I'm glad I moved to the south too, I hate inclines. People ride my ass so hard. I used to have a bumper sticker that said "I drive stick, if I roll into you. You're too close!"
>>699241387
Pleb. You gotta try San Francisco bro
>>699226222
I do.
>>699226222
mine has 2 sticks
>>699235201
stick?
>>699241666
Kek fuck that, I don't like the smell of toasty clutch.
>>699235718
oh yes
bc i tend to slam my left foot on the pedal, as my clutch is quite sturdy.
bad idea when driving automatic gear.
>>699242066
Ever start from 5th? I have. Thought it was a great idea and itd be cool. (I was 16 and it was my first car) cost me a new clutch
>>699231045
wee boy's mad he can't drive something as simple as a fucking manual
I drive both. Daily is an automatic and drift car is manual
>cuz muh clutch kicks and ebrake grabs
>pic related
I've never understood why manualfags feel the need to make threads like this. Driving manual doesnt make you superior. It just makes you a normal person.
I can, but im not that great.
I kill it sometimes
Because girls drive my stick
i ride audi 80 (1996) good stick
>>699242206
I've only ever seen a few cars that could do a 5th gear launch. That definitely sucks though dude. My last car would grind super hard into 3rd every time because me and my ex were fucking in the car once while it was running (brilliant, right?) and she accidentally leaned on the shifter and ground the holy dogshit out of it. Didn't matter what I did, it would crunch into 3rd every time afterwards. It was hella annoying.
