Do you drive manual or automatic transmission? Why? What did you learn first?
>>15010427
Manual, drove automatics all my life until 2 years ago.
I've always wanted to learn, so my last car I purchased I just had the dealer teach me in the parking lot and around the block.
Now I can't go back. Every time I get in an auto, I feel like I have no control. I get annoyed when an auto shifts too early, or doesn't downshift immediately when I need to overtake someone.
Manual is simply more fun to drive. Modern CVTs out-perform manual in acceleration, but it doesn't feel very nice.

Manual, to both questions
>why
they are simpler, more robust, allow more control, no annoying nanny lockout stuff like new cars have, and mostly it's because thats what my car has so why change it.
>>15010427
I learned on manual and every vehicle I've ever owned has been a manual. I just love the feeling of pressing the clutch and selecting the gear I want for what I'm about to do. I've always felt so out of control and unhappy anytime I had to drive someone else's automatic vehicle. I know that modern auto's can be faster and more fuel efficient than manuals, but at what cost? To me it is such a fundamental part of driving that taking away the physical input required by a manual takes away the joy of driving.

Okay, but can you put a trailer hitch on that SLS to tow your race bike to the tracK?
when did AMG ever win races anyway?
I want to buy a car with pop-up headlights. Im thinking about Eclipse 1G and Celica V. I'd normally go for 200sx but it's out of my price range. I don't want a faggish car like Miata. What would you recommend, anons?
>>15009948
Supra Mkiii?
>>15009952
Was considering it, but I heard they are pain in the ass in terms of maintance and keeping them in a good shape costs shitload of money?
>>15009948
also was thinkgen of 1g eclipse :3
anyone?
It's quite possible that after the electric cars become mainstream, we might actually get better internal combustion cars, since all the women and faggots will be removed out of the market and everything left will be made mostly for enthusiasts. Do you agree?
Maybe and your pic made me want to throw up

>after the electric cars become mainstream, we might actually get better internal combustion cars
No, it's 100% certain, as better equals to more efficient ICE - and that's being done constantly.
With ecoterrorism large displacement fun is over.
/thread
Or perhaps all ICE's will disappear all together because the mainstream market no longer has want fo them, and small-scale production is never as lucrative as large scale
Which racing discipline has the highest skilled drivers?

MotoGP is where they matter the most, the worst driver in the best car in F1 would still finish well, the best rider on the worst bike on the grid would still be on the podium in motogp

Hi
I have an mx-5 2003
The car seems to go through a lot of oil but you never see any oil leaks on the ground. It'll easily completely eat up 4L every 4-5 months.
There is what appears to be an oil leak where the red circle is and some oil marks where the blue circle is but it usually seems like it isn't much at all, feels grimey.
How fucked is my car?
Nothing JB Weld can't fix
>>15009346
