>Pick up a racing game
>There's no automatic shift option
WHY¿ Who the fuck enjoys playing manual shift? It's literally artificial difficulty.
>>344460375
I know this is bait, but manual transmission is a good casual filter.
>>344460375
Because 0 race cars out there are automatics? Not even fucking NASCAR cars.
>>344460375
what racing game doesnt have automatic?
>>344461059
All modern day exotics are automatic.
The computers in supercars will shift faster and more efficiently than is physically possible for any person.
>>344461059
>Not even fucking NASCAR cars.
Are you kidding? All they're doing is just coasting around in a circle avoiding crashing into eachothers.
>>344461387
>All modern day exotics are automatic
Only in Clapistan. Buying a sports car in automatic is a complete waste.
>manchildren that cant drive manual
LMAO
>>344461387
They can be driven in flappy paddle mode (i.e. like F1 cars), and race car drivers trying to set records will drive them in that mode not in fully automatic.
>>344461387
>automatic
You mean semi-automatic aka flappy paddle

>>344460375
People who enjoy racing obviously are the target audience for racing games.
What fucking racing game are you playing though? Seriously stuff like Forza and GT have auto options, hell even Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2 do too.
>>344461928
>TLD meme

>>344461476
They do road courses too
I wonder how people drive automatics without feeling the urge to crash the car and kill themselves out of boredom. It's a small thing moving a stick around and having another pedal, but it somehow makes driving much more entertaining. I genuinely fear the day manual transmissions stop existing.
>>344460375
Are you fucking kidding me?
Most games i see dont have manual, and force you to automatic.
>>344462914
Because I've spoken to a few Americans about this subject, they consider driving a chore, they have extremely long commutes to work daily through awful traffic.
Hence why automatics are more popular there.
>>344461740

>>344463124
Why wouldn't they use public transportation then? Buses, trains, trams etc. You could even play on your phone without risking everyone's life.
>not cvt
>>344463124
I am American though. I spend about 2 hours on my car on average every day(it's a one hour drive to college), most of that time in heavy traffic and I still would never ever consider getting an automatic because that shit is dull as fuck.
>>344463082
Not Op but pretty much any racing game will let you use Manual.
On a related note does anyone here use a proper wheel? I've recently got a G29 and it's really hard to adapt from a controller.
>>344463124
>people think it's a chore to move a level once or twice
No wonder you fags are so fat
>>344462914
perhaps because people drive to get places, not to be entertained.
>>344463413
because public transportation is fucking foul, and you have to mingle with foul people. also slow and doesn't go where you need.
>>344463413
Like healthcare, American 'public transportation' is a rather shitty joke.
>>344463558
>Be entertained
>Still get to places
Seems like a win win situation to me.
>>344463558
>perhaps because people drive to get places, not to be entertained.
I had to use my dads car (AT) for a week while mine was in the shop. 1 hour and a half commute to university everyday. It was the most boring driving experience ever. Truly.
Then again I have beautiful windy country roads where I live so I can imagine why Americans can't enjoy driving.
What are some racing games for PC where I can go really fast and have car customization?
>>344463558
>public transportation is foul
Only in countries run by jews, like the US.
I rode the bus every day of the week back and forth, 2 hours every trip to go to uni for 3 years because it was maybe a 10th of the price of renting in town.
I've never had one bad experience save for a car crash that wasn't even the bus's fault.
The only reason buses are seen as poor people's transportation is because the fucking kikes want everyone to buy a super car at 16. Fucking morons, all of you.
They don't even let us have automatic licenses here without getting our manual one first in Eastern Yurop.
>>344464608
Too bad it isn't like this in the US of A. I guess it would eliminate a great portion of all car accidents.
>>344464608
Similar in the UK, if you do your test with an autotragic you aren't allowed to drive manual until you do your test in one
Manual transmission is like a fedora for your car.
>>344465835
I heard that getting your license in the UK takes up to half a year.
>There are people in this thread who can't drive manual.

Automatic transmission is like training wheels for your car.
>>344460375
>>344461387
>>344461519
>>344461717
i love driving stick, it makes it more fun to drive, and the execution of manually shifting is rewarding in itself.
automatics shouldnt even be a thing when it comes to racing honestly.
>>344465985
>>344465980
Depends how lucky you get
I've failed my test and been told why, only for the stuff the examiner said never happened
Or the time I was some guys last test before he retired, someone on a roundabout was indicated they were turning off, then didn't. The car moved fucking 1cm and he failed me for that, despite doing everything else fine
>>344466138
Any more than power steering, ABS or hydraulic brakes?
>>344463413
Because here public transportation is either nonexistent, or more accurately referred to as a rapid dindu delivery system and therefore shit.
>>344466403
Training wheels help you from falling to the sides until you get the hang of cycling.
Automatic transmission takes away the (small) difficulty of shifting while getting the hang of driving.
>Fuel economy

>>344466664
Removing the training wheels improves the experience and use of a bike. Having to shift manually makes the car shittier.

If you don't want to skin and butcher your own food fine but everyone should have the bare minimum knowledge when it comes to carpentry. Have fun getting ripped off by shitty contractors for the rest of your life.

>Doing unnecesary stuff makes you not lazy!
>All these new worlders complaining about shifting a gear stick

>>344463470
I've got a G27. And, yeah. It takes some time getting used to. And I wouldn't say that you'll be a much better driver with it. It's just so much more fun and satisfying driving with a wheel/stick than with a regular controller.

>>344468092
This has been around for centuries.It's called public transportation.
I cannot wait for the day that self-driving cars become so inexpensive and efficient that it becomes illegal to manually drive a car. All the butthurt that this is going to cause, and all driverfags won't have any argument since the new legislation would save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people per year.

People who drive manual are just so damn proud of how they mastered the menial task of shifting gears.
It's sort of the sunk cost fallacy. They spent all that time learning it and now they feel they can't upgrade to manual because their training would be lost.

You're certainly right everyone can do it. That's why it's so strange your main strategy of defending manual is to attack people who supposedly are too dumb to learn it.
Guess what, we just don't care! Personally I can drive both but I wish I didn't have to learn manual. Total waste of time.

Neck yourself. noise pollution is a cancer. It is annoying. It makes living near a highway hell. It directly affects the value of real estate. If you want to be a loud faggot, go on, but you will always be seen as an obnoxious asshole. I personally cannot wait to see one of the major source of noise pollution removed from city center. Shit will be relaxing.

Let me finish this sentence for you, dumbass.
The only people in America who can't afford even their own beatup junker car are broke ass ghetto ass poor mother fuckers who can't get a job because they're so braindead and devoid of any sense of awareness that they think shit like spamming their shitty hip-hop on their speaker phone on the bus makes them seem like a mysterious rebel.
And even those poor souls are far more tolerable than the mentally ill homeless vagrant who stinks to high hell that wandered onto the bus, that the driver can't be bothered to kick off for not paying fair because they don't get paid enough to get bitten or stabbed or urinated on.

My father used to own one. Even had some plaque from the Mazda dealership because it was some limited model or something. He wound up having to sell it before I was old enough to drive. Both his bikes too. That car would have been a pussy magnet. Plus, it was stick... It's better off this way though considering how accident prone I was when I started driving. That poor thing would have been a mess.
>>344469634

Don't buy a house that's next to a fucking race track then?
Part of what makes motorsports so good is the noise, some people do take the piss with car mods though
Reminds me it felt right driving in manual. Having control is good.

And there isn't enough oil in the Earth to sustain motorcars indefinitely. Gotta start making sidemoves. If there isn't enough lithium for everyone in the western world, it can at the very least buy us some time during the transition period we just entered to find other alternatives.
Else, there's no other solution, might as well walk. If you're the guy who say "public transportation is the future", I'd like to point out how far away we are from this. Anyone who doesn't live in or near a major city would be fucked without a car. You cannot possibly create enough bus line that would be able to serve everyone from the most remote location in the country to any destination of his choice. Personal vehicles is a necessity for a shit ton of people, and will remain one for centuries.

As someone who has driven both a manual as his first car, then automatic, then manual again I will never understand the argument that shifting gears makes it more fun.
That shit becomes second nature so fast that it might as well not be there. Once that kicks into your sub-conscious then it stops affecting whatever "fun" you could possibly gain from it.
Driving should be comfortable as a top priority and an automatic makes it more comfortable. That is all I need to know.

>>344471605
>want to accelerate

Golly, I wonder which is faster. Not to mention a modern automatic shifts so fast you can barely notice any delay.
>>344467296
>Cheaper to maintain
>Faster than torque converter autos (the most common kind)
>More gears
Auto versions of cars usually have longer gear ration so they can have less gear changes, so 4 instead of 5 and so on, makes the car more into a GT car than a sporty one due to the longer gears
In drivers feel
Manual>DCT>AMT>Auto>CVT
In actual performance for going fast
DCT>Manual>AMT>Auto>CVT
>>344471886
this is why semi-automatic is literally the best thing in existence

Remember that if you drive for any reason other than transportation at or below the speed limit and within the boundaries of laws and regulations you shouldn't be allowed to have a license. The road is not a playground.
Based Google will make automatic cars so safe that it will be illegal to drive, let alone shift, manually within our lifetime.

I guess it has been a long time since we've had one.

Cops won't have any reason to pull over a self driving car unless the registered owner has a warrant.
Self-driving cars are going to kill the traffic fines industry completely and while doing so also hamper other related infractions like drug trafficking because that's the main way they make those collars.

>>344472578
Nigger I was talking about how a regular car would beat a cop on a self driving one because its not restricted to mapped roads and speed limits
Just engage 4low and go hiking while the cop car has no idea what to do, or crash since its stupid like that
>>344472090
Convertibles are nice on newer cars. Kinda shit on older cars because the roof can fall apart anytime. If you ever buy a convertible, make sure its brand new or if you get it used, make sure its a few years old because any older you will have to deal with the roof falling apart such as the back window falling out and shit.

I got failed for stopping for a couple of seconds behind a parked car that had his brake lights on. Nothing remotely dangerous or serious. I did the rest of the test perfectly. That was the day I decided I will not give those DVLA kikes any more money.

I enjoyed NFS 2015 to some extent, and I don't really get all the flak it's gotten
My major complaint was the exclusion of manual shifting but IIRC that was patched in
Sure, it's cheesy as fuck and probably has been forgotten by a lot of people, but every once in a while I boot it up and roam around>inb4 shilling

The DVLA are fucking kikes. I ran out of fucking money and haven't taken my test again since. Only 1 of the 3 I did I actually fucked up (undertook someone, instant fail)

But when something does break won't the cost to repair it be much higher?
>>344472950
remember that the batteries have a lifespan too. The money you're saving on gas you're investing in new batteries.
And the batteries are far more damaging in the landfill, just saying..
>>344472965
It has some weird shit like being able to upgrade the camshaft on a fucking rotary engine
And the RX-7 I had on the trail had 7 fucking gears for some reason. Like they just add gears the more power the car gets

Does this seem like a good idea? Is it even possible because Cuba?
>>344461387
yeah, the car can shift faster than you, don't think anyone is disputing that, but shifting with a clutch and shifter is more rewarding and fun.
>>344466835
the right analogies would be
>There are people in this thread who can't cook food
>There are people in this thread who can't open a housedoor
>There are people in this thread who can't pick out clothes themselves
>There are people in this thread who can't put their mail into the mailbox
since the right analogy would include comparing two mundane ways to get to the same goal, one way with automatization of a part of the action and the other one doing it by manual might
I hope this makes sense, it's pretty hard to express yourself without having english as first language

Except convertibles are fucking goat for cruising and enjoying a hoon because you can hear that engine roar and tires squeal in a way open windows could never hope to replicate.
Only a faggot projectionist thinks convertibles are purely for vainglory.

If you're not a fucking idiot who speeds on icy roads during snowfall, automatics can do the trick too. I had a shitty FWD Elantra that didn't have any issues with driving during harsh winters. Just have to use common sense.
I like the minimal feel to it.

I took the test 3 times. The first time I made shitload of mistakes and I deserved to be failed. One thing to note is that I was also told that I drove too fast on the slipway for a dual carriageway, even though I was driving with the exact speed my instructor told me a dozen times to drive with on the slipways.
2nd time I was failed for driving too slowly on a slipway to a dual carriageway (he told me he would normally let it go but some faggot in a hurry overtook me on the solid lines and apparently that was my fault), even though I was driving with the exact speed I was driving on the 1st test.
3rd time was the parked car incident.

Convertables lack the body rigidity that coupes have, unless it's a roadster that was built as toppless from the start, An example is the 370Z would have more body stiffeners added in an effort to cut down on chassis flex, addind weight, while still having more chassis flex than the coupe model. Whereas the mazda miata was built as a roadster from square one, and it is engineered to resist flexing due to it's semi-body-on-frame construction
REMINDER: Only buy a car if you know its value will appreciate.
>>344473850
You seem to underestimate Cubans. Almost everyone is Cuba is a mechanic. In Cuba there are so many classic cars there that people just use as regular cars and they keep them in relatively good shape.
But if you're talking about rust from the ocean while transporting then I agree.
