Yeah, telling it like it is.
That's four posts so far in a thread you've expressly denounced. You may surpass your personal record.

The first automatic I owned was a Dodge Omni. It actually had decent HP for it's weight and was a fun little car. It would have been better with a stick, but it got the job done. I currently own one of each. I'm not sure what the point of an automatic sports car would be.
I have a friend with a fast automatic. He's the kind of guy who will sit patiently with an empty beer, waiting for someone else to head towards the fridge. "Hey, while you're up..."

OrgoneConclusion said: Third ultimately a replacement for my Mazda 3 is going to have to be some version of an automatic. When we bought the Mazda 3 back in 2005 the intention was that my wife would learn to drive a manual. Well seven years later she still has not managed to figure it out. On flat ground she's barely O.K. but start throwing in a few hills with stop signs or heavy traffic and everything comes undone. God bless her she has tried but I gave up there are just some people who get it and some that don't.
What is so fucking difficult about clutching and shifting that so many women must opt for an automatic transmission?
Are our brains THAT different or is it culturally ingrained helplessness? Don't get me started on women who blow up their engines because they let them run dry of oil. Seems popping the hood and checking the dipstick is rocket science to the fairer sex.
You hang with stupid women. I'm having a hard time thinking of any women that I know that drive, that can't drive a stick.
