>>28697150M16 was too unreliable? Makes sense.
>>28697150>Shifting gears as 90% of the world population does is comparable to using outdated weapon technology from 300 years ago
>>28697159>you MUST learn to use an outdated technology because uhh us teeming hordes of impoverished brown people on other continents do, okay?? there's a lot of us so our opinions matter or something
>>28697163>you must live in the pod and let the car drive for you because... its called PROGRESS, stop being so backwards sweetie

Murrican. I did my license test in a manual the day I turned 16. Black lady even had me parallel park on a hill. Learned manual when I was 14. Git gud.
>>28697316That's literally the minimum for other countries.
>>28697337It should be. It was piss-easy. I can't believe people are scared of this. When my coworkers found I drove manual it was a whole thing, everyone wanted me to drive them to lunch so they could talk about whatever car shit they experienced in the past. It's weird, it's not that big of a deal.
>>28697281Almost their entire lineup is manual unless you live in the USA
>>28697163>outdatedmanuals are just plain F-U-N.
>>28697148Kek. Rent Free 24/7/365
>>28697384Not really fun, just normal. I've driven lots of automatic cars, and I just prefer manual, because automatics suck. I'm European, so driving manual isn't something out of the ordinary. I can't drift, I can't heel&toe, I drive like a pussy in snow, I can't wrench. You wouldn't call me a "car person". I just like driving, that's just about it.
I'm perfectly fine being gate kept by almonds on the Mongolian fish net disqus.

>>28697524Are we driving or shifting?
>>28697367The USA is Porsche's primary market for manual-transmission vehicles and is one of the main reasons they still even produce them. Why don't Europeans like driving manual Porsches as much as Americans?
>>28697150bolt action>semi-autodon't @me with your trannypinion(tranny opinion)
You probably need a youtube tutorial on how to drive a mercedes from 1893 Americans dont care about old technology
>>28697595That's just cope for people who can't into lever action
>>28697150>>28697680>all these strawmans to justify being objectivelly worse drivers than most of the western world
>>28697798You should’ve seen all the strawmanning Europeans were doing to defend automatic-only in some frog sports car. Why aren’t you retards this passionate about driving when it matters most? Why do you suck at making enthusiast cars for people who care about driving ???
>>28697150the AR rifles are so unreliable that they could probaly use that knowledge
>>28698125whats so enthusiastic about shifting gears? please help me understand this, i driven manual all my life, i dont mind it it has its things but there is nothing enthusiastic about it. im not thinking yay its a manual when i get into a 1L diesel cuckbox im shure as hell not gonna think it if i get into a sportscar, no its gonna remind me of said 1L diesel and give me a slighg ick. it doesnt have to be a converter slushbox but something with paddle shifters, milliseconds shift time with instant revmatch and option for auto mode when just croozing. everything but a stick and 3 pedals.manual is for grandmas and work vans.
>look up guides on how to drive manual>its largely just bongs
>>28698645its an amerimutt autism thing, lack of an ethnic or cultural identity means you have to take pride in random bullshit like driving a car with a manual transmissionthere is literally nothing better about a manual unless you consider arguments like "but if youre a retard who doesnt maintain his car properly the automatic transmission will fail more" >T. amerimutt who drives a manuel muscle car and realizes that the ENGINE choice is far more important than how the fuckin gear ratios are changed
>>28698645>>28698772>proceeds to straw man because they don’t actually like driving As expected
>>28698826my mclaren 750s has an automatic transmission and i do like driving it tho
>>28698844My car is an automatic as well, and I’m a better driver than most eurotards.
>you’re a bad driver if you don’t drive manual>so why don’t you make good enthusiast cars that actually come with manual instead of shit ones for boomers?>uh actually manual is outdated and you’re just making it about your identity even though we’re the one making threads about people who don’t drive manual not knowing how to drivelol
>>28698876>>you’re a bad driver if you don’t drive manualIf you CANT drive manual*There's no contradiction here.It's precisely Americans seem to take pride in something so mundane that it makes them bad drivers, because they seriously think its some cool special skillwatch a video with an american driving a manual car, the amount of times he mentions it is so cringeworthy. As long as amerimutts keep making this commentary, these threads will be made.
>>28698826i like driving, i love it. now that its actually winter but not yet snowing i got to drive a few private roads thats normally gated but since snow is coming any day now their gates are locked open and i drove them all. in a manual 6speed. the shifting as usual gave me nothing it was just a chore, 1 2 3 2 4 2 3 4 5 2 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 god such enthusiasm i felt doing that. i asked you before but you didnt ansver; how does pressing a third pedal and moving a lever somehow induce enthusiastic driving? to me its to avoid it and just drive. never been more happy than having a alfa romeo selespeed, it did exactly what i wanted it to do just by the input of my right foot. thats driving, man and machine being one.
>>28697148I guarantee whatever euroid shithole you’re posting from has plans to totally outlaw the sale of new internal combustion engines and probably ban the old ones too.
>>28697281>Porsche bmw mb Audi mclaren AMirrelevant companies that are going bankrupt
>>28697148Americans mostly learn to drive by watching NASCAR.The only thing they really know about driving is that if they are in front of you, that means they are better than you.
>>28699787>Americans all drive like they're in a motorsports race why do third-worlders trying to shit-talk Americans always make them sound so badass
>>28698985By the same logic if your “enthusiast” car doesn’t come in manual it’s a shit for marketed to retards like you who’ll defend them. That is the contradiction.
>>28699797>when i'm in a making america seem badass competition and my opponent is chinese propaganda
>>28699891>By the same logic if your “enthusiast” car doesn’t come in manual it’s a shit for marketed to retards like you who’ll defend themHow? I just dont make a big deal out of transmission choice like americans do... There is so much more to the dynamics of the car that makes it an enthusiast car ... If there are americans with manual cars and don't make a huge deal out of it or have this gay superiority complex, then i respect them.>pic related
>>28700118You just made a big deal out of it by saying if someone doesn’t know how to drive manual they’re a bad driver. So if a car doesn’t come in manual that would also make it a bad enthusiast car for people who can’t drive.Why defend shit enthusiast car not meant for good drivers? Again, you’re claiming Americans make a big deal out of this but the only one doing that are Europeans.
>>28700274>bad enthusiast car for people who can’t driveSomething being an enthusiast car is not about skill floor, it's about skill ceiling. Yes anyone can drive a Mclaren and 90% of americans can't drive a 2003 manual corolla. Does that mean the corolla is more of an enthusiast car? Exploring the performance limits of your car is something enthusiasts like and the mclaren has a much higher ceiling for that... a tool that responds so precisely to what the driver wants, not hampered by negative traits out of the driver's control like being FWD and slow... that's what makes it an enthusiast car. overall, knowing how to drive a manual car only makes you a not bad driver, it doesn't make you a good driver...
>>28700310A manual car has a higher skill ceiling and floor. It requires more input at all times and therefore more skill. A Corolla isn’t more of an enthusiast car because it’s not designed for that. but a civic type r is. A rental spec Camaro on all seasons is, a ram srt10 is. All of these are better enthusiast cars than anything McLaren makes for the same reason knowing how to drive manual makes someone a better driver. You’re implying the manual is the all deciding factor for someone’s driving aptitude, while coping with European “””enthusiast””” cars being computer controlled fashion accessories for rich people who don’t care about driving.Either the manual transmission matters or it doesn’t.
