Automatic or manual transmission?

[FCollinsBuckeye]

So, this is my 'Thump thread' offering for the season. What's your car/truck?

Mine is an automatic, but my wife drives a stick :p

Automatic but my wife "rides" a stick.

All of my vehicles have had stickshifts.

Auto, I'm too lazy to drive a stick. I have access to all 4 gears should I feel the need to downshift.

 

[Pheasant]

Manual.
Can't stand driving automatic.

Nothing is sexier than a woman who drives a stick shift.

Manual.
Can't stand driving automatic.

Why?

Automatics are too boring. Plus, I like driving with a stick on snow -- I feel like I have more control over the car.

Agreed. I'm a manual transmission gal, too. Love not having to brake so much on ice and snow.

Umm. yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking, Thump. You also have to pay more attention when driving a manual, keeps you from zoning out.
It's also easier to get un-stuck in the snow with a manual.

When you have a truck to be a real man you have to drive manual! Automatic is for wimps!

 

[BB73]

Automatic. I like having one hand free to do other things while I'm driving.

I think I've said enough, perhaps too much. :!

 

[OilerBuck]

Automatic. At the risk of being made fun of, I've never drivin a manual shift.

EDIT: Changed bolded...I'm retarded.
