99% of people in real life drive automatics but everyone here hates them for some reason
Normalfaggots aren't real people.
99% of people are not car enthusiasts.
i like automatics.>/o/ - Manual
>>28197403Do you have to play with a joystick to be enthuaiastic about driving?
>>28197412It's a gay thing, you wouldn't understand it.>>28197395It's largely a status symbol. 60 years ago everyone, including your grandmother, drove manual. It's was the norm and no one thought about it. Now, Americans in particular, see manual as like a high class skill that makes them elite.
>>28197419no they didn't. automatics were always seem as superior for commuters across the globe while manual is for enthusiast cars. its only in europe where they want to drive manual in a 4500 RPM redline diesel in gridlock traffic, and want their enthusiast cars to be automatic, like fucking retards.europe also acts like manual is a high class skill, considering they're the first people to tell you that they drive it anywhere cars are brought up on the internet. americans aren't the ones doing this. go watch a random streamer play a racing game. americans aren't the ones saying "DUDE I CAN TOTALLY DRIVE MANUAL UNLIKE THESE "OTHER" PEOPLE!". its just europeans making it seem like the "high class skill" by standing really close to you in the urinal to explain how different their driver's test that no one gives a shit about or asked for is, which ironically makes them seem like the ones who thinks its special more than anything else.
>>28197395A thread died for this you fucking retard nigger fag.
>>28197494t. joystick tranny
>>2819739599% of people in real life are sub 100 iq retards
>>28197395I tried an automatic last week for the first time in my life. I loved it. Easy and comfortable - much more comfortable than normal cars. It's perfect for idiots like myself who can barely drive, like a car made for children, exactly what I need. My next NPC-mobile will be automatic, no questions asked.
>>28197505I don't think you know how IQ works
>>28197524>t. part of the 99%
>>2819739599% of faggots that ONLY drive manual cars own USGPMT+ bullshits and think that their "cars" are worth owning simply because they are manual, which is hilarious as fuck.Allow me to demonstrate:>>28197514Post cars, you won't
Automatics are boring in comparison. That's all there is to say.
>>28197395>Only Americans use 4chan
>>2819739599% of posters here are in the>mom, look, no hands! *crashes*state of development. they are not fully matured as drivers so being able to shift a manual is a huge bragging point to them.give them some years, or maybe even less, with mundane commuting and they will change their mind. if they ever reach the mental age where they can look back at their younger self and say>damn i was dumb and cringy as a kid...
>>28197395Just get a bike faggots, Cars are over because 99.99% of cars are made for normgroids and 99.99% of owners are therefore normgroids.
>>28197636>mundane commutingoh hey it's you again. sorry you haven't gotten a better job yet, maybe 2026 will be your year!
>>28197395It’s mostly just contrarian cope. Your manual car is worse to drive in every way than a PDK GT3 RS.
>>28197696whats a better job than getting paid to drive?"""work from home""" lol get fucked, if i wanted to be home i just neet.office? yeah i been to jail, never getting locked into a cage again.when the driving is mundane i dont want to change gears, when the driving is free open road i dont need to change gears.
>>28197395I like my cars like I like my gunsAutomatic and unregistered
>>28197433Euros can't drive gas manuals. They prefer the diesel manual for that tasty low end torque. I can't blame them. I'd rather have a diesel manual too.
>>28197505But if 100 is the average IQ; then that means only 50% of the world's population has a sub-100 IQ.
>>28197813Based
>>28197836>every grandma in europe drives a gas manualdriving diesel manual is actually harder.
>>28197395Automatics were made for women. That’s why traffic jams are getting worse each other. Too many worthless drivers.
>>28197726it doesn't sound like you actually enjoy driving, then. hope you find an even easier job than driving an automatic by 2026 anon
From a mechanical standpoint, the ECVT is the best transmission type ever produced.
>>28197395this is a contrarian board normalfag. If it was normal most of the post would be about tesla referral codes and talks about experiences at the local toyota stealership.
>>28197910Everyone used to drive their manual tdis, now with the new ecofascist bullshit gasoline is in vogue again
whats with all this gay automatic/ev shill bait slop
>>2819752455% of the usa is subhuman lol
>>28197395Anons are contrarian to a fault on any board. And if there is a way to be elitist, anons will take it. Elitism isn't bad, I'm just explaining that this is the natural state of anons. If they have a way to be contrarian and elitist, they will take it every time because it keeps the riff raff from normalfag circles out.
>>28197618Yes. And anybody from any other country who posts here should be killed.
1) not 99%, somewhere between 1/3rds and 2/3rds if I had to guess. And 2) 99% of people aren't car enthusiasts.
>>28198174driving is the only thing i enjoy. shifting gears is an annoyance that takes me out of the mental zone im in when i drive.its like sitting at home in peace and quiet after a long day and suddenly your phone calls...im also autistic about the technical aspects of it, to know and feel that both engine and transmission can work their magic in intricate ways and exactly as i want it to solely bssed on the input from my right foot gives me a mental boner. its man and machine in perfect harmony.
>>28197395>99% americans in real life drive automaticsfixed
>>28197395only in america >>28197398fpbp
>>28198815shit bait, but like any other habit your mind just does it automatically while driving retard. You do not need to “focus” to switch gears, it just happens and you do it on your own, same with driving
>>28198863My automatic cars are more enjoyable to drive than your fag wheel drive 4 cylinder manual monster truck kek
>>28197887That's not what average means.
they say 99% of people are retareded but im the 5% that isn't
>>28198883No, but he knows that IQ follows a normal distribution which means the mean and median are the same.
>>28198886Also wrong.
>>28198869>fag>monster truckchoose one, you sure must hate the spirit of /o/ right?
swear autists here defend automatics because driving alone is already a challenge for themmy autistic friends refuse to learn manual and my non-autistic friends know how to drive manualcoincidence?
>>28197887100 is the average IQ of the people who came up with the concept (ie, white people). Indians are like 1/4 of the worlds population and have an average IQ of 78 (more than a standard deviation from the mean, ie basically retarded lol). Add however many billions of Africans there are and the worlds average IQ falls well below 100.
>>28198863>one finger on steering wheel>right hand on coffe cup (cold from having crooozed for 3 hours)>mind completely empty, only enjoying the view>pure blissdo you think i want to instinctively blipp a downshift with my left foot without leaving my zone or activate a few brain cells to find a place to put down my coffe cup so i can shift?and i can absolutely guarantee you that i have shifted more gears than you through the years so its instinct, its just an instinct that provide neither pleasure nor comfort compared to auto so why would i?
>>28198905>the spirit of /o/ right?What's that, USGPMT+ bullshit?
>>28198910man I hate A*lyss, when can that coombait game die already?
>>28197412You're not driving with an automatic, the car is.
>>28198817America is the only country that matters desu
>>28198815Same. Well put. I want to drive not play a rev and clutch mario party mini game
>>28199057>hurrdurr shifting IS drivingwe both know that will be the reply.
>>28197887Only Whites and some Asians have an average IQ of 100, other races are much lower.
>>28197645based.>car: automatic transmission, abs, mandatory reverse camera, throttle by wire, brakes by wire, electronic parking brake, airbag under the hood to "protect pedestrians" (will deploy and explode your hood when you hit a curb), lane departure assist (will violently yank your steering wheel randomly), road sign recognition (will beep at you whenever you go 5 over whatever it thinks the limit is), automatic lights, automatic wipers, climate control on an ipad, always on LTE, leaks location data>motorcycle: abs (optional) how is it even a discssion as to which one is the "enthusiast vehicle"?
>want an old car >$12,000 - $14,000>same car, check search tickbox on "manual">$46,000 - $52,000That's why
I've had 3 automatic and 4 manual cars, my parents both have at least one manual, my brother in law has one. I'm the only 'car guy' out of them. Manual cars and trucks aren't that uncommon or hard to find.
