Come at me bro - I TEACH people to ONLY drive automatic cars. Muahaha! I get paid more to do it than manual instructors AND I don't have to worry about learners constantly making bad gear changes, bunny hopping and stalling my car all the time!

Bought my first automatic this year (VW ID4). Will never drive a manual ever again. So much easier to drive automatic.

I had to bump start my first car for a period of time. It was a challenge to always find a hill to park on. Another cool trick was shifting gears without using the clutch by rev matching.

I had a fried starter and a girlfriend who didn't know how to drive a manual, so I had to ask her to push while I sat inside. Not the manliest day of my life...

You've obviously never seen me fumbling through my changes and stalling on every corner.

Hypermiling in a manual is fun.

It's even worse now. My mom's new car just has buttons on the dash next to the radio for park reverse neutral drive and sport mode.

Wow. #1 'get off my lawn' post of the day. There is nothing wrong with auto... It's the drivers.

I prefer a doctor-guided transmission. I'm not smart enough to balance these meds and read my bloodwork.

I do miss driving a manual, however EV one-pedal driving has its own gamifying aspects.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Real transmissions have 18 speeds.

I'm enjoying all the comments where people are seething about manual transmissions amd they don't need to drive one, because they forgot its a meme.

I drove my Samurai today. I don't think any of them even had automatics.
