  2. I think what the witless inarticulate Paki is trying to say that eventually the vehicle feels a little like an extension of your body. So you make movements without even thinking about it.

    Like ever sort of ever feel like you have just "woken up" on the highway, and you have no recollection at all of the previous few minutes, during which you have been safely driving?

    Like that, but Pakistani.

    whats worse is when you arrive at home and wondered have you ran someone over because you cant remember a thing.

    That has happened to me before.

    Oh I am home. I don't remember anything from the last 45 minutes. Did anything happen?

    Nothing ever happened.

    Lanny, learn how to drive a manual. Seriously. I'm not fucking around, do it so you have that little bit of muscle memory built up for life, literally find a manual car to drive and learn. Then when you go to an automatic, it will be like the car doesn't even exist, it's just an extension of your will.

    whats the benefit of a manual over an auto.

    For the average driver there is no practical benefit. The main difference is just that manuals are fun.

    Automatic is better for the simple act of going point A to point B. The only practical difference is that rather than controlling your own gear shifting, the car does it for you so driving is as easy as 2 pedals for Stop and Go, and your steering wheel. Even a child could operate an automatic car if they could reach the pedals.

    However if you actually like driving, manuals are more of an enjoyable and involved experience and getting used to a manual really feels like you are controlling and operating.

    There are some advantages to manual control that don't really apply to everyday situations but can be nice to have. The main one is that if you deal with hilly terrain, a competent driver can usually select gears like 100x more effectively than auto transmissions. But that doesn't matter for 99% of drivers.

    Oh and also it is very cucked if you need to drive and have access to a car but can't because you can't operate a gearshift and clutch. It is dead simple, you just need to build the muscle memory.
  14. are sequential gearboxes "manual".

    Better traction and better gas mileage. the downside is if your clutch slips and you're going down a steep grade and your brakes also are squishy.

    I became one with both of my Honda Civics. then I bought a CRV 4WD

    it sucks driving on the freeway a bit. it feels boxy and difficult to see behind me and has blind spots that force me to lean into the passenger side to see farther back and closer to my rear side to make sure no cars are coming or are there is a clearing.

    but the great thing about it is it climbs the steep area of Oakland/Berkeley Hills just nice. little ass 1 and a half lane roads dropping shit off without sliding on steep wet terrain. much of it with potholes and wet leaves that a 2wd would slip and slide backwards a bit. and when you're turning around with a 500 foot canyon inches from the ledge of the road, its not something you want happening to you. people have turned around, got hit by some asshole flying up on them or just slid backwards. No snow.. just icey or black ice and then rolling sideways off a cliff.

    some scarey roads in the bay area. but fun to navigate

    Gas mileage was somewhat true maybe 20 years ago. Nowadays automatics usually have the same or better gas mileage. As for traction, for 99.9% of use cases this is irrelevant, automatics with traction control work fine now for the most part. There's very few situations where you should be using your clutch for traction in the first place.

    A: stuck in mud.

    B: Stuck in snow

    C: Stuck in slush (both mud and snow)

    D: Making that loud Barking sound when you roll up in front of someone's house on the way to school, with your first car and You put it in first gear while holding the brake and spinning tires than syncing just right into second gear where it makes a BUUUURK" sound for a split second. can't really do that in an automatic. not today's automatics.

    If you actually have a stick shift with a clutch then it doesn't really matter whether you are using a sync or seq gearbox.

    But if you are using paddle shifters, that's technically a "manual" because you select gears yourself, but you will still be considered gay.
