Own automatic = don't know how to drive stick

Automatic. If you drive a manual, you're a hipster doucher who enjoys artisanal mayonnaise made from locally sourced ingredients.

Who let this faggot reply

Having owned both, I'd rather have an automatic. Just less thought process needed during rush hour traffic.

That said, there is nothing like fucking around with a manual.

Manual, because better fuel economy, control over your own car, and genuinely fun if people just learn how.

Automatic.

Easier to smoke in, and more relaxing.

Clutchless manuals are fun too. Ease of an automatic and most come with fancy paddle shifters that make it easier on you to shift instead of "clutch in, off gas, shift to next gear, clutch out, on gas, repeat".

Manual most of the time but automatic has its uses, for example if you're an americuck you drive
automatic and if you're anything else then you drive manual

Semis can be 6(very old ones) all the way to 18 speeds. I have heard of a 21 from Euro for extreme heavy hauling But dont know much about it. 18 is way over kill in my book, and will pull just about anything you want. 13 is just right, drie it like a 10 speed with over driver.

And nobody steals a manual, not that anyone would steal my rare piece of shit-mobile.

>>690310089
Cheaper to replace worn parts like transmission.
Plus downshifting and engine braking saves brake wear.
Boom *mic drop*

>>690309988
yeah, when I got the truck the person before me did not take care of it. it was in the shop about every week getting something fixed. Volvos are one of them trucks as soon as something goes wrong get it to the shop. One senor on it can control 100 other things. One night I drove from Norht Platt NE to Kansas City non stop in 10th gear, The Trans(its an auto not my choice I want to replace it but money) Stopped shifting. I was on the phone calling place after place to get it in, Westfall in KC was the only place open and that could get it in(I ran an account out of Topeka anyways so I was headed there). Once I got 99% of it working and fixed right, it has been a great truck, Ive got a lot of after market stuff on it, By-pass filters, Cold Air coolers etc. I couldnt really ask for anything better. I would trade it off for a Cab over though lol. 1st truck I drove was a Freightshaker Cabover.

>>690310230
yup, The motor was underpowered too, to get the car like in the movie they changed out the motor. The wire form the trans to the shifter broke a lot too. Im glad DMC Dallas was able to fix all of that, If I had a 100k I would put my name on the list for the 2017 DMC coming out. They where a pos but that body style. Nothing else like it.

>>690310527
They are also more fuel efficient.

>>690310565

>>690308456
Never go full retard

>>690310864
Not so much anymore since companies are making 7-8 speed automatics. Manuals were more fuel efficient in the past because you had 5-6 gears instead of 3-4 in the auto and the manuals had a much higher top gear so highway cruising was easier on the fuel.

Its a small change but still somewhat a benefit. Right now the norm for cars as far as manuals go is 5-7 gears.

I've had 2 manuals and 3 automatics. The automatic I have now you can slide the shifter to the right and it has a manual shifter, I think that is convienant. But for daily driving automatics are more convenient. Tbh I never really understood the debate about this topic. It really doesn't make a difference in any practical sense, and its not hard to learn. I learned stick with an old pos truck in a field when I was 12.

This debate is dumb.

not good for the clutch unless 1 is a granny gear.
clutches are not too fun to do, and not cheap to pay someone else to do.
I had a friend who drove his car soooo shitty on the clutch it was just cringe inducing the entire time I rode with him, tried telling him he was gonna blow his clutch soon if he didn't change his driving style, he did, sold it to a mexican.

>>690313899
Harder to pick up from the clutch onto glass because the trans studders but no, not horrible for it.

>>690313899
Depends on a lot of things. Some cars have stupid short 1st gears that are only really useful for hill starts or heavy loads. In cars like that, if your engine has some torks, you can easily do it with very little extra wear on the clutch.

In semi trucks, it isn't uncommon to start in 3rd or 4th with a 10spd transmission on flat ground with a light load.

The thing about an American 4.0L I6 with 180HP and 220 torks, you could run that thing with shitty gas and old oil for 500k miles before any major issues with the engine. There are so many vehicles with 4.0L 6cyl, 4.6 and 5.0 V8's that roll over 300k miles (500k km) without a single issue with the engine. Gas was cheap, so why not make big engines that will run forever?

Backpedal harder, brah.

It seems tedious, and driving autos seems like a luxury after owning mostly manuals. But at this point I don't even think about it, shifting is second nature at this point. And fuck the asshole behind me, I am not going to do the clutch burn creep of a shitty traffic jam, I can let the car in front move a bit and get some room instead of shitting about at .7 mph. To each their own, I just love driving more than most people do, even in a shitty traffic jam. Just so long as I have my music blasting it is still zen to me.

this applies for me when coming home from the bar drunk as fuck.

That's pretty much what I was talking about with that post. Almost all of the 'murrican engines from the 90s and early 2000s were bulletproof. The Ferd 4.0 V6's and 4.6 V8's, the GM 5.7s, 3800 V6's, even the smaller GMs like those 2.3 Ecotec(?). You don't have to do shit as far as maintenance but the engine is rarely the thing which kills the car. Rust, electronics, transmission, something else will go before the engine.

I highly recommend against that anon, I did about 6 months in jail when I got 2 shitty drunk DUIs in a month after my 21st birthday. Having an interlock in your vehicle for over 2 years is the height of not fun also the jail.

In addition to blowing your car everyday, did you have to use the same technique in jail?

Small mountain county jails are not a state prison. Nice try though.

My cousin has a fleet chevy with the 5.7 that is rolling a half a mil very soon. Still runs like a champ even with all of his fucking dumbass employees trying to wreck the thing every other goddamned day. It was the first vehicle he bought as a company truck, the last wreck they took the mangled work bed off and fabricated a tow truck style flatbed with a lift. Frame is a bit jacked but it still drives straight and runs like a beast.
