dang, i cant dance... you got me there mr.bucket. oh wait, i dont have sports car transmission complex. :icon17:

hahaha! true that. :tup:

my area of expertise i guess :bowrofl: :wtf2:

Don't forget the $1500 price tag (in Canada anyway) on the auto.

:icon18:

Unless you're driving a cheap car. Most automatics rival or exceed mpg's of their modern manual counterparts..

speaking of 7AT's i'm gonna go hop in mine now to go get lunch. now play nice until i get back ;)

You can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.

And if that doesn't work, you just club'em over the head and throw'em over your shoulder (or in your trunk/hatch) and take'em home. :tup:

Once had one tell me I was a smooth shifter, but it was because she was drunk and I didn't make her throw up. :ugh2:

Yes. :yum:

Guy goes into a Bar.

He sees this Hot Girl at the Bar.

He walks up and asks her if she wants to go for a ride. He says he knows how to drive a stick...

She says he is in the wrong Bar..

But he says it is a Manual..

She says "His name is Manual" ??

Well she drives an automatic Acura now, so she's a pussy. :roflpuke2:

The last 2-3 pages has been entertaining. Thank you all for shifting my priorities away from work.... :)

:bowrofl: :bowrofl:


:thumbsdown:


:icon17:

That is why I am here...Zero technical help, and purely here to entertain, or anger, depending on my Posts....:tiphat:

Wait.

We are supposed to provide technical help? :confused:

Sure.

7AT:
Step 1: Press Brake
Step 2: Move Gear Selecter to "D"
Step 3: Press Gas

Easy peasy!

I don't think it is a Requirement, or I would be gone...

Hey there was a Haboob in Lancaster ,Ca., That wasn't you was it ??

See, you did provide help....I learned a new word..

1. Keep your tank above 1/2 full...

2. Change your Steering Lock..

3. Get an Oil Cooler...

I feel better now....

Nope, wasn't me.

I probably knew the him though. :icon17:

Did he leave dust everywhere and make being outdoors unpleasant? Pretty typical of him.

He caused a Major Car pileup on the Freeway...

I live in Norcal with no Haboob's....Boob's yes, High Taxes, yes..but no Haboob's...

I never drive my car in D. It's not that simple. Learning to shift without over-revving DRM is a task in itself. Everything else is like driving manual while negating the clutch.

You can miss a shift and lose all power in a race. You still have to be in the right gear/rpms and know when to up/downshift etc...

What you're saying is one sided.

you would say :thumbsdown: to pussy :roflpuke2:

Fixed :tup:

It IS that simple. Just because you don't drive in D doesn't mean it's not there and can't be used. Also, "Missing" a shift in your automatic is quite different from "missing" the shift on an MT. The only thing that is similar to a manual from what you're describing above is timing of when you have to flick the paddle while your foot is mashed and to an extent, the powerband. Still MUCH easier than learning how to time your clutch, ACTUAL shift, and gas foot.

I'm not downing the auto, but get real it's in NO comparison as difficult to time/drive as a manual down a track.

:bowrofl: Damn it...

I've misshifted in Forza before with the controller paddles (triggers more like it). :shakes head: Caused me to mess up a turn and lose the race.

I turned it off after that. Didn't want to ruin my Ferrari anymore.

i like cars... does anyone else here enjoy them? also, transmissions are a cool thing.

I don't like tranny's.






I don't enjoy being deceived.

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

Now THAT was funny....Always look for the Adam's apple....Eve didn't have one...

:tiphat: and :iagree:

Oh, another confession! When I actually do put it in full auto mode, I really wish the gear selector would still tell me what gear I'm in. This lack of knowledge is fine in my other car, but the Z lets me interrupt full auto and command it to shift. It'd help if I knew my bearings first! Either play it safe and shift down once for a really impotent passing moment (hi fifth gear, I don't need you!), or double-tap and go down further than expected for a "I wasn't revving at you, sorry!" moment. Thankfully, the auto wants to basically get to 6th as soon as it possibly can and stay there, so you can usually assume 6th. (This is part of why I rarely use the auto...I would like to hear my pet purr, thank you.)

Back on topic for the off-topic topic: Most things "car related" will impress and attract attention from guys more than women. Just sayin... It's right up there with video game knowledge/skills.

Eh... not really. :ugh: I don't think that's on my list at all.

i like turtles

Or being turtled.

I've heard good things about drawing skills and bow-staff skills as well!!

I have a teenage mutant ninja turtle fetish.


No really.


TMNT from the 1990s.

Whoa there, if you have drawring skills you can sketch them nekkid! I saw Titanic!

This is like the horseless carriage vs horse riding debate that raged for years online back in the late 1800s. If I remember correctly, the manly mountain men agreed that horseless carriages were for "pampered city gals." The horseless carriage guys said horses would be relegated to glue ingredients, but lamented that they had to struggle so much to change the gears.

By the way, I shoot only crossbows and wear only pleather codpieces.

Spoken like a true Cro-Magnon. This Board never ceases to crack me up. :bowrofl:
