>>13809556
Its all i ever do, my parents didnt want to teach me how to drive automatic
>>13809556
yeah sometimes
>>13809563
ewww
>>13809556
NEVER driven an automatic, except some months in a scooter.
I always use my tiptronic mode in my automatic car
>>13809563
i never forget my cones
>>13809556
on occasion
>>13810346
you're cool...
>>13810346
Scooter isn't really automatic, it's single gear with slipper clutch.
>>13810438
>single gear
>slipper clutch
Cvt
Centrifugal clutch
>>13810494
slipper clutch is synonym of centrifugal clutch
>>13810501
No
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipper_clutch
They aren't
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_clutch
No I do not. I'm in Europe doing my licence with an automatic. This means no manual unless I take an additional exam later.
>>13810534
I dunno bro, everyone I know calls a centrifugal clutch a slipper clutch. That thing for stopping engine braking/preventing the rear wheel locking up if the engine seizes gets called a sprag gear.
>>13810563
whait you get your license on an automatic? what country do you live?
oh and yes, I do shift.
>>13810584
Im in Austria
>>13810589
dont you want to have shifting fun in the mountains?
>>13810604
im not really the typical /o/ anon. i like cars bin in a dirfferent kind of way. i just like the convenience of an automatic and i own prius so yeah...
>>13810615
bybt
>>13810615
*but; *a prius
>>13809556
I wanted to shift, but my car was made with autotragic only, and the manual shifting there is lame as fuck
>>13809556
Nah I'm fat and lazy.
>>13809556
I live in Europe, 90% of cars are manual and you'll be call a girl if you drove an auto
no i just redline it in first everywhere i go
Nah, I drive an S2000. 9k RPM is more than enough for going to get groceries so I just leave it in 2nd at all times.
I know how to manual but my car has CVT.
>>13810358
Bruh I don't even have cones on the truck. I used to, but somebody stole them. Told the boss we need more.
But safety comes 2nd around there. Getting shit off the truck is 1st. Whatever makes the numbers look good.
>all these autotragicfags
/facepalm
I don't think autofags even understand why manual is better.
all the goddamn time. too many other fucks on the road.
>>13812894
it's why america's infrastructure is soo shit for the most part.
engineers would understand the importance of placing center turn lanes or right ones in strategic places. don't have to go full autistic mode and put in a continuous center lane "suicide" lane. the south in particular would be soo much better if they just added turning lanes.
and traffic wouldn't be soo shit if everyone had to focus on shifting constantly
>>13810679
You're making me miss my 300, please tell me it's at least a 5.7
>>13812936
>Americans don't have restricted turning lanes
Can people in the right/center lane turn left?
from drive to overdrive when entering the highway
As a matter of act I do :)
>>13812978
colorado has turning lanes everywhere because there's a higher prevalence of manual cars out there. center lane you can turn left, not from the right lane unless you're a new yorker and don't give a fuck
>>13809596
>macro
Blessed be this anon, for he has used the correct term.
>>13812978
He's talking about pic related, the suicide lanes.
But there are also 2 lane or 4 lane roads, just divided by a solid yellow line. And people will stop to make a left hand turn and hold up traffic. Same with right hand turns but they normally don't stop, just slow down.
He's saying there needs to be more dedicated turn lanes. Which is harder when there is an area that has been populated for a long time but has been growing. You can't start tearing down buildings to make turn lanes.
>>13813049
germany is like georgia road wise, but turning lanes everywhere, the lanes just get narrower in areas where its older
>>13813049
They just repaved a fairly large road in my town, and changed it from 2 regular lanes on each side to one lane and a turn lane in the center. I fail to see how this is better. Especially since the overwhelming majority of people who travel that road do not turn off of it in the section which was changed.
Care to explain how it's better/what they're thinking may have been?
>>13809556
Da.
Every day.
>mfw stick with bench seat
>>13813075
probably to add bike lanes
i shift but i car is tragic
still looking for a reliable under $4000 manual
>>13813071
It can be like that some places here too. I was in a left turn lane with my truck today in an older but busy area of Ft. Lauderdale and my left tires were on the median almost and my right mirrors were still in the other lane.
Lots of this area is actually designed fairly well for the traffic though. Unlike Chicago where I lived. Most of South Florida has blown up over the past ~30 years so it is fairly recent and they planned. Almost every major road is 3 lanes in either direction with a median and turn lanes.
Even the newest areas further west, roads may only be 2 or 4 lanes, but there is lots of room on the sides to develop later if needed.
Traffic still sucks a lot of the time tho.
>>13813087
No bike lanes, nor sidewalks have been added and the edges of the road are unchanged (and will remain that way, since there are homes on this road), so I really cannot figure it out. It's a 40/45 MPH road and was much better when slower and faster traffic could each have their own lanes. Now slower traffic sets the pace (I am okay with this usually, but I still disagree with it) so that the occasional person can use the turn lane. It's bullshit.
>>13813094
Try anything that isn't American made.
>>13813102
i was waiting behind a sprinter van in amsterdam while a tour bus was in a left lane turning towards central train station. when the bus turned the rear of it clipped the sprinter van and propped the drivers side off the ground almost. van driver didn't even give a fuck and just drove on after the light turned green. in germany they're not as chill about accidents but their roads aren't as narrow.... but they both had pretty short curbs like at most an inch high or a little more off the road. germans park half sidewalk, half road but the dutch don't.
>>13813124
probably because the lanes were too narrow. georgia has what you're talking about, narrow 4 lane roads that have low speed limits like 35 but overall georgia drivers are pretty good at not hitting each other
>>13813153
>half sidewalk, half road
You would get a ticket for that most places in the US.
If I park in the street in front of my house, I will do half street and half grass. Or mostly grass if I'm not leaving the car there for long. But residential and smaller streets around here never have curbs.
>>13813179
I'd be more in favour of that if the speed limits were increased, but they've yet to be. And they haven't been checking speeds, which might indicate an increase. At this point, I really just do not get it.
I'm in NJ btw, and these turn lanes are very rare. Though PA has loads of them, so I've used them before.
>>13813181
its mostly residential areas though, but they have dedicated spots that are really just a lane with fancy pavers where people parallel park in newer areas
>>13813191
dunno why either, unless they're going to add bike lanes eventually
>>13813207
That'd be cool. In the warmer seasons, I bike a lot. There are loads of trails in my town, so I ride those plenty, but there is joy to be had on roads as well. But there aren't enough sidewalks, and even less bike lanes. And since I am stupid fuck and don't wear a helmet (despite having a handful of decently bad spills), I would appreciate some accommodation so I can feel a little less stupid/at risk.
And to keep relevant to the thread, yes I do shift.
>pic obviously related
>>13810368
Gross.
>>13810584
>>13810584
Australia is similar.
If you do your driver test in an automatic car, your licence says CA and you're only allowed to drive automatics.
But if you do your driver test in a manual car, your licence says C and you're allowed to drive both manuals and automatics.
>>13810563
How do you practice driving a manual if you're not allowed to drive one?
>>13809556

Just come out the closet man, times have changed for the likes of you.
>>13809556
Yes. They'll have to pry my shift knob out of my cold, dead hands before I buy an automatic.

Yeah, but its not very satisfying

Yes, but usually the car does it for me.
>>13814925
....okay, I'll take that as a no from you
I have flappy paddles to shift.
So yes I do shift.
You should have asked do you use a clutch.
>>13815465
>implying DCT counts as a manual transmission.
>>13815492
He didn't say did we drive manual. He said do we shift.
And paddles shift
>>13815501
Then we all shift because all car transmissions shift.
>inb4 but anon, automatic transmissions shift by themselves!
By pressing on the gas pedal you are making the transmission shift, albeit at predetermined intervals.
>>13815098
Yep.

>>13813075
They just did that by me too. You in North NJ by any chance?
The road they did that on by me has a couple of reasons why it's better.
Road was only 2 lanes per side for maybe two miles and either way you'd go it ends up merging down to one lane per side. The way drivers are around here they basically refuse to merge properly, so it's a recipe for accidents and road rage. Not really enough traffic to have necessitated the two lanes.
They also put in a new commercial development and needed dedicated turn lanes for it forcing the lanes to merge earlier and in a blind/dangerous spot with little warning.
yep
>>13809556
ye
>>13816506
Was half expecting that to be three on the tree
>>13816502
Yeah, North NJ. Randolph to be specific.
I can see the reasoning behind eliminating merging. People are so bad at merging. It's the best reason I've heard yet. That is, unless the bike lane idea happens. That'd be neat.
>>13813007
>5 speed rsx
>not a type s
>>13815803
Ep3 Si's are only 5 speed... Unless thats a type r, In which case im jealous af.
Also, yes i do shift.
>>13809556
sometimes
i would buy a manual car, but I live in a dense urban area, and my apartment only lets me have 1 car
but at least it's a dct so its not completely boring
Yes i always do, my car is 46 years old.
>>13811313
I live in america, and no one cares
I have to and I'm ok with that.
