Ha ha! F all that noise. I first learned to drive a standard trans... and that's that last time. I prefer automatics. Even the jeep wrangler i drove when I lived out in LA was an automatic. Couldnt imagine shifting 18 times every block in that car choked city.

Now if we're talking motorcycles, an a/t can

Ive had manuals all my life until I moved to LA. I did have a VW Bug when I first moved here. And even as forgiving as that clutch was, it was a PIA in all the traffic.

Yeah, shifting from n to 1st, back to n, then to 1st, then n... (repeat for hours) makes driving just an exhausting chore. Ha ha!

Youre familiar where I live (on beach and Katella near disneyland). Before the gf moved in, I used to go pick her up in the early evening. Going from where I live to the 605 fwy is about 5 miles. It took me over half hour on Katella getting to the 605.

Yeah, I know that area well. My gf worked at the Anaheim Hilton nearby. 30 minutes for that 5 mile stretch is ridiculous. A potential dating deal breaker.

Yeah. Atlanta isn't as bad as LA was, but it's not all that great either.

Philadelphia here, I95 corridor. It's a 58 mile round trip commute which passes PHL International and drives most of the way through Philadelphia. Thanks to COVID, it's been a pretty easy drive since March, but traffic is slowly returning to normal.

Some days, its a 35 minute drive to work; and some days it's 4 hours. It just depends on whether or not anyone crashes. The worst, by far, are the tractor trailers.

I drove that from the airport to Lancaster.... OMG, I thought I was gonna die a few times.

Between almost getting run over because I couldn't figure out the speed limit (sign was 55 with orange flags on top, no others in sight) or dodging 18 wheelers that drove any where they wanted too... (forget turn signals, they must take them off).....
