Manuals are for losers. I only drive a horse and cart. Lol at anyone that doesn’t use outdated technology.

I'm manual crew too by the way, manual chitbox from 2008 lol.

LOL So hard at people who lean their personalities so hard into chite like this. Its the most glaring way to say "my dink is small, and I never lived up to my potential... so this is the hill I'm dying on".

And if you wanna measure levels of “alpha-ness”, being in top physical shape and driving an automatic is way more respectable than being a fat fuk who can drive a stick shift, lol.

Why not both?
Weekend car is a 6 speed manual, DD truck is 6 speed auto. I daily drove manual cars for years. I now prefer convenience in a daily.
And yes, modern autos are far faster than any human can shift with a manual trans, but I'm not trying to drag race the world and a manual is just so much more fkn fun to drive.

I know how to and originally learned to drive in a manual - but its Pretty silly to try to turn something like this into a dick measuring contest, or to choose a vehicle based on the type of transmission so you don't feel like a "soy boy".

Drive both crew
I own a 2008 Acura TL Type S, and a 2015 Ford Escape SE. The TL is awesome to rip on my way to my base on the weekend (turnpike/country driving).. But going to work every day I take the Escape since there's so much traffic.

Manual is a blast if you live in an area that lets you enjoy it. Constant shifting/downshifting in stop and go red light traffic is awful.

I tried buying a newer version of my at the time current model std transmission and they said it would cost more and have to be special ordered. TFW nowadays it cost *more* to buy a manual transmission. My truck I recently bought doesn't even have a manual option.

Never understood why people took the whole "manual vs automatic transmission" concept so seriously. If you want to drive a vehicle primarily for fun over general practicality (sports car, any type of motorized bike), or you truly just love driving manuals that much, then drive manuals. If you care more about pracicality and are talking about an every day driver vehicle, then go with automatic. It's that simple.
The manual vs automatic debate became completely stupid once automatics started consistently outperforming than manuals. That completely shattered the claim to supposed masculinity that guys people obsessed with manuals had. It is not "less masculine" to pick the option that is not only far less hassle, but now also performs better in automatics.
Also, lot the arguement of manuals being a car theft deterrent. Told mostly by guys with stories about how some thief already broke into their cars/started breaking chit inside before realizing they couldn't actually take it due to it being manual. If car theft is among your top concerns when choosing a vehicle, then you've got way bigger problems to worry about than some stupid online debates about the manliness of manual vs automatic vehicles.

Agree with OP to a degree...
My toys are manual.
My Corvette, back before I got into bikes, was a 6-speed. My bike is obviously a manual.
My daily however?
F150 SuperCrew. Nothing more relaxing than cruising along in my land-yacht, listening to some tunes, just enjoying the scenery.
And don't even get me started about highways and stop-n-go traffic. Just lol @ anyone doing the ole 1-2 back to 1 shift every 5 feet thinking they're alpha.
You're embracing some serious suckage in that moment and you know it.

Canyon runs require a lot of downshifting and braking and that’s the best part. You ever tried to drive an auto down a canyon road? It’s fuking terrible
People saying manuals are good for highway cruising. So when you’re basically in one gear, where it feels like an auto? Cause with no traffic I’m in 6th gear the whole way.
just lol the copium
Look, i know i don't really know you and all, and i know you probably hear this like everyday, but your just so perfect to me. The few hours we talked were really great even if the convo was stale, your really pretty and chill, and your country thats just perfect :'D i really dont know how to explain it, but i think i have feelings for you somehow. i never felt like this with someone i just met, but i felt the need to get it off my chest. sorry for being all weird just idk how to explain it D:
