this is a poo poo post, and is factually false.

manual transmissions typically get better gas mileage, idiot

and no one wants to borrow your car since they're dumb and have no coordination, that's a double win imo

i think a key factor to enjoying a manual transmission is not spending five hours in gridlock traffic every day. its really cool to stomp the gas and drop it into 2nd imo. vroom vroom motherfuckers

The only reasons I can think of that justify owning an automatic over a manual is

- Eatin' french fries while driving.
- Staying very close to the back of the next guy in this traffic jam. gently caress YOU, DON'T MERGE WITH ME!

If you're saying it's easier to do these things in an automatic, sure I'll give you the point. If you're saying you can't do any of these things in a manual, I'm gonna start arguing.

I mean surely most people that don't know how to drive a manual won't even really be able to get it started and in gear, right?
