Better to just drive in 1st or 2nd at 5krpm and gun it if a car with tint tries to saunter by.
Really though, I think it's no different than anything else. Some people prefer a Keurig K-cup Brewer, others prefer a filter in a basket that lets them choose their content. Scientifically, the portion provided with the K-cup is more commonly enjoyed. Some people still like 3 cups worth of grounds for their 14oz black coffee.
I'm sure there's a reason I still use a p38 for Spaghetti-O's that's the same reason I enjoy manual transmissions.

ok... what exactly is that, other than a fancy way to slice fingers?

Also have no clue why MT drivers act like they’re superior in some way. The MT has been around forever and has been driven by little old ladies way before it was put into a sports car. And guess what? It was hard to drive those things. Today’s are a joke compared. It’s old tech that’s dying and will die. It’s outdated and useless in this day and age. It is fun for a while though  |
why is 'because it's fun' such a difficult answer for people? it's not about efficiency, or because it's old, or more engaged. it's because it gives me something to do.
given the option of a 'manu-matic' that my last car had, i found myself always shifting myself because the cars shift points irritated me, and it was more enjoyable to shift myself. it didn't save gas, it wasn't more efficient. it was just more fun to me.
some people have fun different ways. go figure.
