I started a thread about this months ago about sticks vs automatics. My friends and family said I'm dumb to drive a Stick, but now I have to trade in my car and my wife insists that a get automatic.

I am fucking not, WTF is up with people not wanting to learn how to drive standards?

Those are actually eye catchers! Can't believe they resurrected the Dart name though holy cow. Someone bought a new one at work and I was checking it out. :) I have an 05 sentra ser-v. Lots of fun!

Re: I'm so done with you automatic transmission people! Why are Manual people shunned?
people like automatics because they arent car and driving enthusiasts. they want to be able to eat a cheeseburger while driving and change cds and talk on the phone while driving. driving to them is just getting from point a the point b.

driving a manual is for people who really enjoy cars and driving. you and the car are almost one. more control, you can feel the car more.

they shun manual people out of ignorance. they simply view it as unnecessary work to have to work the clutch and shifter. they think automatic is the next evolution of driving and going back to manual is devolution. they just dont get it, they dont understand it and dont want to.

They say that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. They also say that history is written by the victorious.

What I have learned from history is that the recorded accounts of humanity's past are nearly always manipulated for the benefit of the current ruling power's agenda.

Put faith in your own personal history, or submit to the future of another's.
