I've never missed a shift in the Z. Ever. Except for that one time I did. And those other times

This is usually the point in the exchange where someone gets a sharpened toothbrush handle out from their hiding spot.

I think I'll just have a sip of the house buck and stay out of this one

Manual isnt lame. Manual is ******* fun.
However if you did not see it in the future that autos would eventually get faster thn manuals thn u were living in a cave.
Also there are many reasons people buy autos. Convenience is one of those factors.
I do knw how to drive manual, i initially wanted to buy a manual, unfortunately there was a 2 month wait, but now few months down the line, i do not regret my decision.
Manuals are definitely more fun.
Autos however are faster only because technology.
Even if its not technology, i highly doubt that everyone can do a perfect shift every single time at every single gear.i know i cant.
Autos, well they can.

This thread keeps popping up in my control panel and when I come in all I see are the same comments rehashed over and over. Pretty much a "my **** is bigger than your ****" said in a hundred different ways. Good way to pass time while at work I guess?

I know how to drive stick, I just didn't get a manual because I like to focus on actually driving, and if I'm tracking I'd lose focus and pay too much attention to shifting, pressing the clutch, rev matching and such. My BRZ has a Manual mode with paddle shifters so I can do the same thing without using a clutch.

If I'm driving on the road I like not having to worry about shifting, just enjoying the ride. I don't care if people don't like its not a manual, it's my car, not yours! Go away, lulz.

Plus Automatics are getting better and better, with dual clutches and such.

Opinions are like butt holes, everybody's got one. Some people (like you) like them more than others.

I love my rare car though, thanks!

There are no naked dudes in there. You will be disappointed. I'm sure Jar will send you a couple of pics if you ask him.
