People like Kane west doesn't care abut driving or the history of Ferrari. They just buy those cars as items to show they are rich.


Lambo, Ferrari etch... have caught on and that's where the business is. There model is now to sell more cars. Not make them for enthusiasts.


Soon we will have cars that drive themselves because they will be quicker around tracks. People let technology take over there life way too much.


I swear, by 2030 people will be saying how having the computer drive the car at the track is better than actually driving it yourself hahaha
This. All this. This is exactly it. I'm not sure how anyone can miss these key points. Smh

For safety reasons, I guess. Blinking red lights are probably more conspicuous than my arm sticking out of the window, and I imagine there are a lot of people who wouldn't understand why it was sticking out. They would likely think I was pointing at something.

Why can't we just have our passenger just stick their head out the window with a sign that reads either right or left...

What if we have no passengers? You know, life can get pretty complicated. Therefore, turn signals.

To answer your question, I give a fuck what people drive. I'm curious about a lot of things.

Garage
i have an accord with a CVT trans. its a "sport" so it has "paddle shifters" even though it has no gears to shift lol
so its lease is about to expire too. and after almost 3 years, you know what?

MY LEFT FOOT IS BORED TO FUCKING DEATH.

only car i ever owned that wasnt manual was my GS300 (oddly enough it was a sport design with steering wheel mounted shift buttons too lol) so i am in desperate need to throw a shifter and bang a clutch.

bottom line: i know the feels.
also, anyone want to trade their FRS for my accord?

I find cars that are manual, you have the joy of actually trying to improve better shifting points, working for that power etc...

It's why i like the FRS/BRZ/86...you have to work the car to get that power out of that little engine unlike my previous bmw.

I actually bought my bmw in auto thinking it would be better cause of traffic etc...and i discovered that i didn't feel connected with the car at all. Sure, floor the gas pedal and the car goes...but there was no special feeling like i had at the time with my subaru which was manual. It just becomes like a normal car for me....i don't know....there is just something special about changing your own gears.
How come no one understands that when you put the Auto in manual mode you decide where the shift points are and you can bring the car to red line without the trans taking over. I've had many manual cars and this auto is the best I've ever had. I very rarely drive it in auto mode I'm mostly in the higher rpm curve and love downshifting into corners. Oh and my **** is bigger because I have a pilots license and really feel connected but that's to hide the shame of driving my auto.
