I love Pittsburgh......not the pirates. 3rd most profit and last in salary. anything wrong with that equation to you? the day management spends some money to make a real team then I may start to take notice lol

and the only lube I like is blood. it's natures lubricant. :tiphat:

You are preaching to the choir. I'm an Astros fan. 4th largest city in the nation. Stupid Medical and O&G $$$$ and the lowest salary in the majors last year.

Oh don't even get me started on the Astros & money.
Anytime a player shows promise and a rising start, they instantly trade him so they don't have to deal with paying him more money. :mad:

we are the same here. usually in the top 5 profit and bottom 5 salary lol

yup we do the exact same. somehow I don't know how we haven't traded cutch yet lol

I love the Astros. I hate them as well :shakes head:

I would totally pay for MLB.tv so I can watch them if not for 2 reasons.
They piss me off every year about half way through the season with trades.
The whole blackout rule basically shuts us out from seeing half the season on MLB.tv. :shakes head:

Do you not get Root Sports? Or do they black out home games too?

I don't pay for cable anymore.
OTA, Netflix, Amazon Prime, but the blackout rules keep me from subscribing to MLB.tv or NFL stuff. I know the NFL said this year they won't blackout any games themselves (unless local rules override), but the MLB is still riding on the old rules.

For a second I thought I was in the Sports thread

Back to beat the dead horses topic

MT > AT

:horse:

figured you would be happy we took a break from calling each other fags, idiots, assholes, dickheads, etc for a few posts lol

per Trips orders it's back to bashing you MT queers :stirthepot:

:iagree:

Every time I see the :horse: I smile.

Thanks to Frost for making my dream a reality:happydance:

Right back atcha, cunt!

well you know what they say, only steer and queers come from texas.......and you drive the MT so you're most certainly a queer :bowrofl:

Hey, just because he likes to play with his cars shaft at high rates of speeds while thrusting it into different positions can be his own decision!

:yum:

I was sure you were avoiding this thread Trips.

Painful reading this one huh? :shakes head:

Mmmmm!!! Someone say fags? I'm here for the fags. :yum:

Presto. C'mere and sit on my stick. ;)

MT drivers definitely have better looking sticks too. Ohhhh yeahhhh. You like that? Like that knob? Mmmmmm.... Sexy.

yea....I would but your stick just flops around into all these different directions.

see my stick however stands up stiff with minor movement for maximum effectiveness. :tiphat:

[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread
 

Lol. Not with my new SSK installed. Mmmmm. Yeahhh... short, quick thrusts. Mmmhhhmmmm. Just like that.

nobody wants a short stick. women may say "it's a good size" and "size doesn't matter" but my friend......women lie. :tiphat:

:bowrofl:

[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread
 

Lol. So Yer a woman now? You never said "it's a good size." Last I checked you cried even when I used lube. Bitch. ;)

Nothing connects man to machine more than a good stick and clutch. Clicking paddles 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.

I drive the 7AT and its not going so well
 

I constantly get questioned or bashed for driving an automatic z. I am really wishing i got the 6 speed now. Those who drive the auto, how do you guys handle this situation?

Im just getting very annoyed and it's taking the fun out of the car for me.

Suck it up and stand by your own decision. If you wanted the 7at to begin with, don't let what other people say cause you to second guess yourself. Unless, of course, you didn't put enough thought into the decision in the first place and you see the validity in others' arguments. In which case, awfully cavalier with $40k aren't we?

Either way, Good luck.

LOL

the problem is not that they make fun, Its that you get bothered.
Now ill grant you manuals, And i dont mean specific to the z, Even a civic manual is loads of fun. Just the feel of manual i guess. Atleast thats what it is for me.

But I own a Automatic, And even though i personally have been questioned about why i bought an Auto, I dont really get bothered with it. Auto is just convenient. Just have fun with the car, And with the Z, you cant really get bored anyway.

I get annoyed when people ask me why i bought nissan.

Also flame war incoming on this thread. I can feel it

Wish I gotthe M6 too, HOWEVER, I love the 7AT as much as I can love the auto. I will be paying off the car and worse comes to worse I can also tranny swap it, to cope with no manual, my DD will for sure be Manual! ( the Z AT is the best AT ive driven) have also tried tons of AMGS and some BMWs to no match.

Tell them this: In fact most super cars are AT with paddles. The AT is quicker than your 6MT.

With the new generation of motor trending the manual is a dying breed. Even the Porsche GT3 and Nismos are AT. Its the age of the quickest numbers now.

Time will come only a handful of skilled drivers would know how to drive manuals.

I bet most people who commented on you driving an AT they don't even own a sports car?

Tell them you got an auto to make it easier to fingerfuck their mother/sister/girlfriend while she is giving you road head.

lmfaooo.

LOL touché

I have had my Z 2 1/2 year and this "situation" has never happened to me, not even once.

You need to quit hanging out with douches and the "situation" will probably not come up again.

:iagree:

Enjoy your car and dont worry about what others think. If they keep at it, take 'em for a ride in the Z and show off the power of your 7at. Theyll think twice before comenting again :stirthepot:

Tell them nothing. Just stare at them until they get uncomfortable and walk away when they ask you this or other dumb questions.

I'm with the suck it up/ignore it crowd.

Because I enjoy shifting, I only considered the 6MT. This is the sort of decision you need to make before purchasing a $40k car. If you're letting other people's opinions get to you you either A) have really thin skin or B) bought the wrong car.

6MT and 7AT owners on here give each other $h*t all the time; it's all in the name of good fun. Incidentally, the real reason people get a 7AT is so their wife or daughter can drive it.:stirthepot:

I like the driving experience of a manual but hands down the auto is faster. I was at the track with my buddy (I had an LS1 powered FD RX-7 at the time) in our RX7's, his is an LS1 Turbo FD there were two AUTO LS1 turbo trans Am's at the track and they were trying to convice my buddy to switch to auto! So it can go both ways I guess.

Its all preference though and you didnt buy your car for someone else you bought it for you. We have all seen people make fun of stupid mods on other's cars, but when it comes down to it it is their car and it makes no difference in your life what people do to their own cars.

I've had several manuals over the years and after a few months I always regretted not getting an automatic.

If people are really giving you a hard time about the AT, do what FalconFixer said. LOL

I can understand your situation OP, not because I have an AT but because usually the first question I get asked by the randoms who compliment the car is " is it a stick?"
So if it's not I can see people being disappointed.

But it's your car, just enjoy and forget about what other people say.
