Re: Or people who like to actually be in control of their cars. Automatics are sloppy. callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 05/01/2010 05:52:10 AM
I have yet to drive an automatic that gives me nearly as much control as my ancient manual Camry.


Then you either A. don't know how to drive worth shit, B. are driving shitty cars in general or C. got a good, reliable old car.

I've never ever felt as though I needed more control with my car except in situations where the weather was so severely bad that I shouldn't have been driving anyways. If you need more control in an automatic then you're clearly not driving correctly.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access

Acceleration is useless in automatics. I don't know why people even try to argue this. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 06:11:00 AM 510 Views
I don't understand why its useless in automatics. I accelerate just fine. callandor1000 - 05/01/2010 06:31:33 AM 651 Views
As I said before, its a question of preferring control, not of "needing" it. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 08:10:15 AM 510 Views
