I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Me here, A Clutch..... for 26 years.
Automatic, I'm a sissie.
Go Gators!
Automatic, actually I don't know how to drive a car with a standard.

A manual.
If automatics had been invented first, probably nobody would use a stickshift. It would be like powerless steering.
I drive an automatic -- I sincerely doubt I'll ever have the opportunity to own a manual transmission car, since most cars that have a clutch as an option are far too small for someone my size to fit comfortably behind the wheel of AND operate three different pedals.
Oh well -- for what it's worth, I always play the arcade driving games on "manual" whenever my friends and I go to Gameworks to hang before a Reds game.

I have a Toyota Camry SE with manual. It's pretty roomy. I have a feeling that eventually manual will be limited to high-end sports cars in the US. Manual is much more popular in Europe. The ability to let it all hang out on the Autobahn probably helps make manuals more fun.Originally Posted by Caveat Emperor

5 speed.
I had an automatic and couldn't wait to get rid of it. What a snooze.
I don't have a car, but I do prefer a clutch. Even though for the first six months I drove one, I had a big sign in the back window screaming "NEW STICK SHIFT DRIVER - PLEASE KEEP DISTANCE". Because, you know, a good way to improve your driving is to plaster a huge sign on the back window. (But it worked.)
Anyway, saves gas money.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

Really? Then I want an electric car. Nothing to do with money, but unspeakably rad.Originally Posted by RBA

Automatic! It's too hard changing the XM channel, reaching into the backseat to smack the kid, talk on my cell phone, eat a Six Dollar Burger, honk my horn at the losers that can't drive, and still worry about operating the clutch.
Don't forget about cracking open that 40.Originally Posted by RBA
