It triggers me too.

I can tell you that moving off is the hardest thing to learn. It's like learning driving a bicycle again.
>>56790254
It's really fucking easy when you understand how the clutch works.
>>56790254
Just watch some youtube.
>>56790254
holy kek americans are manchildren babbys lool
>>56790254
It's only hard the first few times if you're not used to that particular car, or it's a shitty 1L 3cyl ecobox that's easy to stall.
Over there you drive cars with big engines it's going to be easy to learn, my 15yo cousin got the hang of it in a day once I explained it to him.
>>56789513
Then why does the M6 come with a manual option only in the US?
Don't trucks still have manual transmission?
Must be pretty dangerous otherwise
So American truck drivers must know how to drive manual
>>56790254
just move up a gear while holding the clutch when the engine gets loud and hold the clutch when you break and start the car. Also don't let go of the clutch too quickly or people behind you will get angry and honk at you.
>>56792715
Trucks can be made with either system. Actually, Muricans still manufacture Non-synchronous transmission, which is pretty cool.

Truck drivers here still use manual. They have to go to trucker's school to be properly trained in it though.

Automatic>Manual
Same fuel economy on newer cars, repairs cost rougly the same, you can't misshift in an automatic, you don't need to use a clutch to disengage/engage gears, you don't need to switch gears constantly, etc.,...
If you live in a city a manual car isn't "fun" or helps to "save" gas thanks to stop and go traffic.
Overall no one here on this board owns an exotic car to really get the thrill of driving manual...
>>56789513
What's the correct sequence to switching gears? I tried a stick shift once, and the car kept shutting off on me.
>>56794346
This
>I'm too poor to buy and maintain an automatic car
>>56794510
What do you mean?
clutch in, slowly depress accelerator and then begin to release clutch. Once your revs start to max out, depress clutch and move into the next gear up.

They're literally in number order.
>>56794346

In 2016 there's absolutely no legitimate reason to be driving a car with a manual transmission. Unless you're trying to be edgy.
>>56794346
Have to agree with the American on this one

i am thinking of buying the Subaru Crosstrek 2.0 premium manual, yay or nay?
>>56794593

I was referring to the sequence in regards to the gas, clutch, and shifter.

Americans have the mental capacity to learn both standard, and automatic. Yuropoor are so stupid, they can only learn standard. Lel
>driving manual in San Francisco
Fuck that. Id rather be a pussy than deal with the hills and shit traffic.
>>56797315
>having to learn that the car shifts the gears for you
Holy fuck, you are dumb
>>56797478
just use the handbrake
>>56797527
If it's so easy, why don't yuros drive automatic? Checkmate, athiests.
>>56798370
Cheaper and easier to repair.
>>56798370
They're called yuropoors for a reason.
New age automatics are far better than manual, if you drive manual compared to a modern 6 speed+ auto transmission or CVT you are wasting gas
I bet Americans haven't event watched Initial D

Trufax from an Ameriburger
I do not know how to drive manual. I would like to learn, but there is not an easy opportunity to do so. It's not big on the priority list either.
My dad owned a manual once when I was like a toddler, but later all the cars (minivans and wagons, etc) were automatic family-movers. The only cars I've driven, with one exception of borrowing a friend's, were those family vehicles and then eventually my own (also automatic).
Once at work, another friendly acquaintence (not really a friend but we got on well) asked me to move his car for some reason, mentioning that it was a manual. I informed him that he didn't want me fucking up his car, so he should ask someone else. He smirked and did so.
In my defense, at this old job I had an opportunity to operate about a dozen different fork lifts, and I always felt pretty manly driving those.
>>56800136
I have an old Gunsmith Cats manga where one criminal driver/runner teases a female competitor who is driving another car: "oh, I didn't know they made those in automatic." She punches his jaw but he barely feels it, kek

>>56790527
I cant tell if I'm fucking retarded because it took me like a week, or if I just have a particularly shitty car to learn on. It's the only stick shift I ever drove so I can't even tell
>>56794346
Why are there so many city fags on this board? Honestly just shift four times to get to fifth, then drive for half an hour, then neutral till you stop. It's not really that annoying...
I can drive a stick, but why the fuck would I own a manual transmission car when I live in a city? Traffic is absolutely cancer.
>>56789513
It's the current year, if you still drive a manual car you're just an idiot.
>>56794346
I still squeeze in the odd track day, so I'll always have at least 1 car that's a manual
Plus I can fix a manual trans if I have to with basic tools and a torque wrench
>>56793344
Yeah but a large part of the battle for the learner (and, therefore, the American) is knowing when to change gear. Todd, Jared and Corey won't have a clue.
>>56807152
t. Autotragic faggot who texts and drives
>>56794346
>Same fuel economy
i learned how to drive a manual just to say i could do it. i dont see why it is necessary unless you are driving a car that noone on 4chan can afford
like im imagining driving manual every day in the type of traffic i commute in and just shaking my head at the unnecessary effort required when automatics axist
>>56794691

>>56807264
Nah. I drive automatic but I don't text while driving.
You don't drive manual for cheaper costs/better real-world fuel econ, or any of that shit, you fucking SUV normalfags. You do it because it's fun, gives you more control, more engaging, and therefore safer because you actually pay attention when you drive. Unless you spend more time in bumper-to-bumper uphull traffic than anywhere else, there's no discomfort or annoyance in shifting your own gears. I've done both, and I'll take stick every time.

When you grow up and get a real job I hope you buy a motorbike or a car
I can kind of understand why if you have lefthand drive. I'd fucking hate to change gears with my right hand
>>56807671
It takes a bit of getting used to, after a half hour or so I was ok.
>>56807587
>he hasn't experienced the thrill of a perfectly executed heel-toe downshift from 4th to 2nd
>Manualfags can't fap and drive
>>56807763
Your right hand is only occupied maybe 5% of the time. The shifting motion takes half a second to do. Once you're in gear, take your hand off the stick and grab your other stick.
>>56807278
It is if you're driving a car made in the past 5 years. Besides, even if it wasn't the case - 99% of people who drive a manual don't even drive it properly to account for efficiency anyway. Most plebs just like to snap the stick around to feel like Vin Diesel.

In Germany you literally can't get a drivers license driving an automatic car
Americans shouldn't be allowed to drive here T B H
>>56790254
That's strange, I only know one person who can't drive a manual (other than children, cripples and babby's) and he's autistic af.
>>56813623
Over here, if you passed the test with automatic, you get a special drivers license, which says that you are not allowed to drive manual.
no need at all for manual unless you're racedriving with your normal car.
