Re: getting fast cars in automatic....
It's not so much that it's bad to not want to drive a stick, it's wanting to own a sports car but not wanting to learn how to drive it.

Re: getting fast cars in automatic....
Why would anyone actually be opposed to learning manual? It's a few hours time to learn the basics, at most, and a lifetime's worth of a basic skill. Even if you plan on driving auto Civics the rest of your life, I can't imagine having the chance to learn manual and not doing so.

Re: getting fast cars in automatic....
Depends on the car you get. I love a stick, but my new BMW is paddle shift becasuse its performance is much better.

I am going to buy a car and a lot of the cars I like are the semi-trick ones like VW GTI and Subaru WRX. The problem is I don't know how to drive a stick shift. Am I a big tool if I get these cars in automatic and just use the paddle shifter occ.? fwiw, its not that i dont want to learn driving a stick its just that I dont want to.

Re: getting fast cars in automatic....
I can understand driving automatic if you live in a city with a lot of hills. Using the hand brake at every stop sign gets old really quick.

Re: getting fast cars in automatic....
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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
