i dont give a flying fk if i look ineffectual while driving a automatic camaro

if a girl leaves you just because you drive a automatic camaro that girl has issues

i dont know how to drive manual and I really dont wanna start becuase i just dont see the fun in shifting every second

I'm with you ^ A performance car is meant to be enjoyed and personally, I feel like I enjoy it most when I'm a part of it. Not just saying stop or go.

And I was just messing with the auto guys.

I like driving a stick because it's more involved. I'm not making it up when I say I drive it to enjoy it and feel connected and a part of the driving experience.

I have, however noticed that women seem to like the fact that I drive a stick. Not that that had anything to do with me buying it in the first place, but it's a plus.

The ultimate rush for me is downshifting to pull hard through a corner. Even if you just keep it at normal speeds, it's still more fun than driving an auto round a corner will ever be for me.

Yeah, obviously she has an issue. It's that you're ineffectual.

No seriously, you can't really understand until you've mastered it. And I said in my earlier post that the best feeling of driving comes when you downshift for a corner or modulate the clutch on a launch to minimize wheelspin. Something where you're in control and you're not just letting electronics sort things out for you. I imagine a woman likes it because it shows that you possess a range of attributes. And show them off so matter-of-factly and nonechelantly.

I mean regardless MT or AT, the girl should be going for the car, not the stick. No I didnt mean it in a perverted way.

I don't think a girl would leave your for driving and auto, but you may have a better chance in the beginning once she knows that you can row through some gears!! It's a thrill!!


Also, ladies...you really should know how to drive a stick. Guys LOVE it!!!

[ucla1ove3]

except when the guy does not know how to drive one himself lol. ill have to decide on automatic or maual, i wanna learn stick but i will be in traffic a lot so it depends and my commute to school is not that far. hmmm

this sucks lol, i was having enough trouble deciding on what color i wanted lol

[The_Blur]

I know. I need to borrow a manual to learn, though. Who wants to donate their clutch to better my learning experience?

[fastball]

I love driving stick, so my silver SS1 RS will have the Hust short throw - I think I'm gonna go with the cue ball shift knob instead of the T-handle.

For those who don't drive stick, I just have to say, there is nothing - NOTHING - like the feel of pushing the clutch in, puting it in to first gear at a stand still, reving the engine to the sweetspot, and then droping the clutch.

That's something you can never do with an automatic (well, you could try a neutral drop, but you might have to cary your transmission home with you )

Of course there's more to the joy of driving stick than just that. They just make any car more fun. Even riding in a Yugo was more fun because they had a stick.
