It was actually more of a technological decision, wanted to try a hybrid.

Only blasting music in the car is alpha. Leave transmission out of this.

Manual means poverty. Literally saving a couple of grand to get worse shifting, worse gas mileage and bragging rights to other tradies

What's next? Are manual wind windows alpha?

Like any old men of my generation, I love manual car driving!!

To us, it's never about "Alpha vs Beta" but simply about...like "Free Weight vs. Machine".

Or......"Honest Strength vs. Efficiency" (=Clever Laziness).



Oh, BTW my wife can't speak English but wanna add something her own....



Yeah......sorry about that.

Any way, it's just about driving a car.

For a daily driver manual is probably as retarded as it gets but if its a weekend car or what have you and you buy it to drive then not having manual or at least a manual shifting mode is pretty retarded.

My first vehicle was manual. Had it for like 6 years. I miss having a manual at times but I wouldn't want one where I live now due to traffic.

Auto’s should probably be illegal. They essentially say ‘I don’t have eye-hand coordination and I can’t concentrate on more than one task at a time’ and therefore I shouldn’t be driving at all

no its cumbersome and annoying. GT3/F1 cars are "automatic" and they are faster than your ford focus.

I'm buying a weekend car pretty soon and it will be a manual for the fun factor, but you can bet your arse my DD will always be something with an auto.

Nah i can drive a manual but id prefer paddle shifters tbh since those originated in racing anyway. All current supercars have them. Driving your little manual fiesta doesnt make you alpha in the slightest it just wont get stolen by urban youfs

If you knew automotive racing history you would have the same sentiment
