wtf is up with all these "lol automatics are for the gays!" comments.

i know how to drive manual, but its a pain in the ass when you're in traffic, hills parallel parking, etc. When I'm driving, I like to put in as little effort as possible, I'm not out there drag racing Nick Hogan, so what do i care.

Seriously. I drove a friend's manual Celica to San Francisco from Los Angeles once. The drive there was great because traffic was light, but as soon as I realized I needed to parallel park on Nob Hill (one of the biggest hills in SF, where my brother lived at the time) all the fun went away. I nearly [censored] my pants when a trolley came as I was parking. Somehow I pulled that one out, but I have no idea why anyone in a hilly city would own a manual.
