Re: A Survey about snow and cars. Helene Send a noteboard - 04/01/2010 08:53:52 PM

1: Do you have snow? How much?


Today we had about 1 inch of snow. It melted. But it's a lot more than we've had in recent years. The other week we even had 3 inches!

2: Do you drive an automatic or a standard?


I drive a standard, but when I'm confronted with an automatic, I know how to drive it too.

3: Why do you choose to drive your above answer?


Standard, or stick, is simply much more common where I live. Also, it allows for more control.

4: Where do you live?


The Netherlands, Amsterdam.

5: Add a question of your own.


How do you deal with 33 inches of snow?

Or people who like to actually be in control of their cars. Automatics are sloppy. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 11:13:17 PM 631 Views

Acceleration is useless in automatics. I don't know why people even try to argue this. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 06:11:00 AM 607 Views
I don't understand why its useless in automatics. I accelerate just fine. callandor1000 - 05/01/2010 06:31:33 AM 773 Views
As I said before, its a question of preferring control, not of "needing" it. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 08:10:15 AM 610 Views
