That's just excuses right there. I DDed my G for five years in Houston traffic and it's just as bad.

yeaaaaaaaaaaa that's actually a real thing and people get heated if you move their chairs. i'm talking violent sometimes.

i'm the one who moves them but only when i'm driving a daily or a beater.

people don't realize the street is public not private property. we do have some idiots here but everywhere does too soooo it's normal.

soooo this city has super limited parking and most of it is street parking in the downtown area. parking garages as well but in the areas where theres houses it's primarily street parking only and no driveways either or rarely.

(hence why max Talbot's house went for 900k in the southside due to being nice and having a two car garage built into the house.)

so people put chairs out to save parking spots right in front of their house so they don't have to walk.

but the issue is when I go to places around there to eat the main streets typically 100% full so you go to side streets and people are lazy so if you park in front of their house they aren't typically happy.

I remember one day in my monte carlo (betweener vehicle don't judge me lol) I had the top piece of sandwich bread stuck to my windshield by the mayo on it. wasn't happy yet still got a chuckle.

man, this may be your most asinine comment thus far or just a super poor troll attempt.

you MT boys really need to shake off the rust and come back tomorrow to try again.

I hear the big stick boi's like pulling their pants down and bouncing up and down on the stick after a long drive....

This is just my humble opinion. I learned how to drive a stick way before most of you were born, a 4 speed 1967 Ford falcon on the floor, got my CDL license and drove a 21 gear truck so i learned how to drive and not just aim a car. The only vehicle I owned that was an auto was a 2010 FJ Cruiser that the wifey fell in love and the standards were not available in my area. Loved the truck but i found myself falling asleep on the way home just about every day because I felt I was just aiming the thing. So I went back to stick and now I'm driving again. I know wherever you live or whatever you choose is personal preference for you and your driving style, but I will never own another automatic. Wifey has 2014 Rogue fully loaded and works from home has 3k miles and I only drive it to fill up the tank, groceries with her or in 10 feet of snow. but as a daily driver maybe if my Z is getting some work done, so carry on maybe we can add some politics or religion to this tread to add fuel to the fire....

I saw a video of this chick actually doing that and found it hot, hopefully she didn't damage the gears as I couldn't tell if it was her or the gears grinding, google it I bet you will watch it ...don't believe everything you hear

I love my 7AT but had the pleasure driving this 8AT today and it's a astutely amazing.
If you drive that AT and don't fall in love something is wrong with you.
