oh please don't flatter. I can do so much better but most MT guys aren't bright enough to understand technical and more advanced things......that's why they use out dated transmissions

I had these two kids come up to me once. One in a honda civic (ricer) the other in an acura rsx that looked pretty clean to be honest. The kid with the civic was like "what the hell, why automatic?". Gave him my reasons and made him feel dumb while the other dude in the rsx was like.. nah that's cool man even the gtr is automatic.

I bought a 6MT but I usually don't give a flying **** what people think about my car, much less my transmission LOL. You spent 40 on a car for YOU. YOU make payments on the car. Why the hell do you care what other people think? They're not gonna make your payments. Not to mention most modern day super cars come in automatic now. Just enjoy your car bro. My last 3 cats were automatic and I didn't give a **** what anyone thought

Im just getting very annoyed and it's taking the fun out of the car for me.
Everyone that has an automatic wants a manual. Guys on here just like to pretend that the automatic is better. You won't see any manual guys saying I wish I bought an automatic. Automatics aren't sports cars

Jesus, you just keep at it, huh?

This has become the dumbest thread on this forum. Think about what that really means. On a forum that counts Synolimit and Chii370 amongst its members, this is now officially the single dumbest thread. I award all of you no points, and may God have mercy on your souls.

I love my automatic. My erection lasting more than 4 hours from driving the Z prevents me from operating more than one stick at a time.

I just noticed this sticky... lmao. So this is why AT vs manual threads finally slowed down after all these years.... FP got center stage on the AT. If you need extra guns FP? You know where to find me... Humpin' on a AMG GT-S

I find it hilarious that this thread is stickied

Of course, Chuck has to come in here and ruin it. Just like the AT fanboys with their "facts" and "logic"

My MT cannot be beat because I choose not to race lol
