Another good reason to drive an AT
 

None sense you can still do the manual! It is uncomfortable though...ask me how I know lol

The only time I wished I had an auto was when I dislocated my patella at work and had to drive home. 1-3-6 lol

I don't see the reasoning.

OP actually means "the only good reason" LOL

Heal fast!!

I sprained my left ankle pretty badly one time playing basketball and had to drive home. Hurt like hell working the clutch (different car). Worst part was giving a friend a lift home and hearing him laughing bc he thought it was hilarious. :rolleyes: Should have just made him walk...

I've broken my left leg three times in about 5 years (long stories), and because I've only ever driven manuals I couldn't drive anywhere all of those times.
When I got my 86 I thought about automatic, but rather got rid of the indirect cause of two of the breaks, my bike, and went manual. :D

Damn dude, drink some milk or something.

Better start doing some squats to strengthen those pigeon legs :P

Your point is moot because how the hell do you drive with that big ass boot on. I broke my ankle, and had to drive from hospital in my auto, tried it with that thing on and couldn't. I had to drive it without it and it hurt like hell, the doctor later on said I did myself no favors

Thats why i have 2 cars,,
my 86 is MT and another car is AT.

paddle shifters and downshift rev matching are the only reasons

Awww. That sucks! Deets, man. Deets!

technically you can still shift without the clutch.

Off topic.

Humdizzle .... curious if you got extended warranty coverage on your 458.


:threadjacked:

Ouch ........ I hope you heal up quick ........ :)

How did you manage to do that .. ??

Easy for you to say ....... in flatland Missouri with a GTR ....... :D


humfrz

nope. from what i've read they are pretty reliable as long as you drive them often. Both my GTR and e46 M3 had no problems over the 4 years i owned each of them.

meahwhile my toyota celica was brand new in 2002 and blew a water pump at 600 miles. My FRS already has the the fourth gear grind and crickets.


no gtr anymore :cry:

Have you had the 458 long enough for a pros vs cons with the GTR? Still a ways away from affording either but interested to hear your opinions on daily/relaxed driving in each and balls to the wall driving.

Both have looked awesome :w00t:

had some time to kill. made a post in the other cars section

That's a little tough from a standing start.

Broke my ankle last year, the two weeks I wasn't driving MT were almost as much torture as being stuck in a cast for 6 weeks.

Won't bore you with details, but it involves a boat, a dock, a trip, and enough blood to attract Jaws. At least I got my first ride in a helicopter.

just hit the clutch once.... he doesn't need to stop for anyone

Ahhhh.....yes, .....I remember my first ride in a helicopter ...... :threadjacked:

Ouch, hope you get better soon.

This is why I keep telling my wife she needs to learn to drive my MT- if I break my foot or something, I'm stuck with her AT Camaro and she's stuck with the MT FRS!

You played in the Southeast Asian Conference as well?

I broke my right knee skiing a few years ago, and the only AT vehicle I had was a 1986 toyota pickup. Couldn't drive it, no power brakes. So three months of being chaffuered by wife.

And the only helicopter ride I have had, earlier this year, I don't remember. Was a comatose crispy critter.

Well, in consideration of your presence here, nice comeback amigo!

Best defensive driver ever
