Manual or Automatic
    #5314629 - 02/18/06 09:06 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

ok so my sorry ass is very bored, and I am not going out tonite.  i dont expect to get many replies but whatever.

Anyway, ive been learning how to drive manual on a 5 speed camry.

At first i stalled like crazy, but not anymore.

I dont stall, but the ride isnt so smooth, but ill get better at it no doubt.  Now I find driving standard is fun, yet fuckin tedious at times.

I personaly like automatic for the fact that I can get crazy stoned and not have to worry about shifting or stalling.  I do however like the control I have driving standard, but it gets so annoying sometimes (in the city).

I just wanna know what all u fools prefer, manual or automatic, and why.

sorry for this useless post  :tongue:

(any manual driving fool-proof tips would be appreciated) :thumbup:

manual is 50 times more fun to me. it makes me feel like im doing something, when i got my license i was so anxious and scared i thought i would crash not knowing what to do, it was as easy as walking. when i drive a stick, i feel like im doing something, im one with the car, you know helping it. i also feel cool because none of my friends know how to drive one and it makes me look cool. one time everyone was drunk and stoned off their ass and i took the keys and drove my friends lancer like a fuckin madman, best drive ever.....

definitely go with manual...if youre driving and smoking you its not that big of a deal to just wait until youre in fourth or fifth gear to start hitting the bowl...in other words, when you would be shifting a lot is at stop signs and the beginning of roads...although sometimes yes it is a hassle, i think the fact that its cheaper, more control over the vehicle, less chance of your car getting stolen, and impress your friends...= go with manual and smoke once youre in the right gear...no biggie... or roll joints or something.

Get a four speed manual the gears are preaty long so in city driveing you just use 1 and 2 for up to 0-35 for stop and go 3rd for 35-45 and 4th 45+. They are much less tedious and fun for somking weed in than a 5-6 speed. The also get better gas mileage. My 1989 maza 323 got 30-40mpg city. Cars now adays are just starting to advertise that. 4 speeds are the best of both worlds. A driving enthusists stoner's dream.

i just learned stick shift a few months back and i definetly prefer it. i dont like it for city driving mind you but i feel i have much more control with the 5 speed, and i can accelerate much faster should i feel the need.

not that i race around or drive fast or anything :smile2:

I grew up driving a stick shift and it always seemed natural to me until I got my first car with auto transmission. I don't think I'll ever drive a stick shift again, too much of a hassle for me now.

Manual is far superior if you know how to drive it right.  I had to buy an automatic last year when I bought my new truck just because they don't make them in a manual (Ford F-150 FX4).  Sometimes it frustrates me.

But the trucks I drive at work always have 10 or 15 gears so a 5-speed almost feels like an automatic to me! :grin:

manuals are fun to drive around and race people

but if you r going to be driving stoned or under the influence of any drug than i would get an automatic so your mind can be at ease and you dont have to worry about shifting
