I can't use one on my car, but I'd mount one on the wall in my garage :icon17:

Kinda like when you wake up thinking Presto put his finger in your *** but soon discover it isn't his finger and he's resting his chin on your shoulder giving it his all and you're like... dude. it is 3am. Go play halo or something. ;)

And I say that being stuck in VA/MD traffic on i495 daily with 6MT.

I leave my car running everywhere I go too, knowing nobody will take it since like 2 people still know how to drive standard.

I would rather drive an auto in traffic and I also want the faster shifting at the track. Thats not an excuse, there's is just no advantage to driving a stick to me these days. I've had a 240Z that was a stick and a Talon TSI but autos were not worth anything back then, its called progress.

Okay there are some idiots that don't know how to drive a stick, it still doesn't make it rocket science. You push a pedal, change gears and let the pedal out, big deal.

Okay, I forgot the fun of a little gas and clutch. I enjoy feeling the car accelerate down a straight, hearing the tires scream as it pulls Gs in the turns and trying to brake from 130-30 to make a hairpin but if playing with a stick does it for you, who am I to judge?!

Nope :stirthepot:


I'm waiting... :rolleyes:

No...The reasons have always been the same:

1. The AT transmission is WEAK!!!!
2. Spirited driving is always more enjoyable in a MT

Originally Posted by FPenvy (Post 3391750)

the MT isn't much stronger and that's after you pay to change the CSC that WILL fail.



and as for 2 I honestly 100% have more fun ripping through back roads, highways, etc.... with 2 hands on the wheels grabbing paddles. not only am I safer i'm also quicker in many ways.
