[OFFICIAL] Manual v. Automatic Thread

dudesky · 06-25-2011, 11:34 AM

uhh...I'm not that young, and I said I know how to drive manual. I only pay partial amount for my Z and my parents are helping me pay the most so that's why I had to obey them. you guys are just bashing me for drive auto and think I'm stupid. I don't think so. I was going to buy really old car with manual trans because then I can pay it. But I wanted to get Z so bad that I just got it as an auto since my parents said they gonna help me pay for me. I hope you guys understand my situation and don't curse at me. TMy point was that I want people to love automatic as much as manual. Thanks guys

We only curse at you a little..not too much tho!

No worries dude, we don't think you're stupid either...

Manual or AT...doesn't matter. Enjoy your ride and contribute often my friend!

i could care less what others think, it's all about u like..period.

chuckd05 · 06-25-2011, 03:31 PM

We all curse at you ! Also we will throw rocks at you if we see you. Lol. Enjoy the Zs auto or manual, they're all the same car at the end of the day.

AT drivers are losers. Manual drivers have small penises. DCT drivers rule. Hahahahaha.

I thought i'd break the monotony.

Hambone1 · 06-25-2011, 08:24 PM

I have AT...cocks shotgun to take on all comers...

happytheman · 06-25-2011, 09:36 PM

/\ I downshift, let SRM kick in for me and swing the azz end around while firing out the window at you. All the while you stand in mute resignation at my awesomeness!

Ah, but I have foiled you good sir. As your hands are occupied, downshifting and controlling your azz swinging steed, I have slapped the paddle shifter in one fluid motion after pumping my shotgun in slow motion, fired what some might call incendiary buckshot (a la Hollywood), and sent your car into it's blazing final resting place.

happytheman · 06-25-2011, 10:12 PM

But alas..while you were slowly pumping your "gun", I was revving my Z to 3500rpm and dumped the clutch...which allowed me to most ceremoniously dust you in asphalt as I roared by! What you saw most unceremoniously exploding was my AT-based Z that stands in during times of possible danger. The AT takes the damage while the real deal lives on to tell another tale! BWAHAHAHAHAA

Damnit. I've been had. Well played sir

happytheman · 06-25-2011, 10:36 PM

Hehe, that was fun! We should thread jack more often (sorry OP)!

Hambone1 · 06-25-2011, 10:53 PM

Indeed it was. I always enjoy a spirited forum shootout. My apologies as well OP

McFrostyJ · 06-26-2011, 01:52 AM

LOL!!! That was a great read guys!

dudesky · 06-26-2011, 10:31 AM

haha. Thank you guys for understanding me

It's just that there are so many people around me keep harassing me for having my Z as an auto and call my Z a fake...anyway after 3 years of full payment, I'm going to trade my Z in to manual and can't wait!

Drive safe guys
