During a commute a MT is almost no different than an AT imo, because of how the car is being driven, it's being driven in a manner of which you simply need to get to point A to B(on time!!), sure you can sometimes have chances to ring out those RPMs, but for me in the morning, holy fuq, if I do anything remotely close to spirited I would probably cause an accident because of all the Soccer mom's driving tanks. He also wasn't calling you an asshat lol. He just uses too many periods

There is nothing arrogant or caveman implication by stating that I do not get the whole "fun factor" thing about driving MT. If arrogance was shown at all it is through statements such as "If you think button pressing is more fun than a manual then you clearly don't know how to drive a manual" or "if you only shift up through the gears like a good boy". These are condescending and fail to see that anybody can have a different viewpoint. People can have just as much fun with these ATs as with a manual.

Yes, with a button press. Which is my whole point. I press buttons on my keyboard all day long at work. That is what I consider mundane. Hahaha |

My only point here is manuals aren’t superior. But guys come in here and say the AT is superior simply because it shifts faster and that you are a caveman if you pick an MT. It isn’t all about shifting speed or the most advanced technology. F1 has the most advanced tech but look how boring it got before they dialed back the tech some. It’s about driving and the reward of doing something correctly. Anyone can press a button without making a mistake. This is why nearly all race cars have paddles these days. You can’t make a mistake. That doesn’t make it fun though. I know Tcot wasn’t calling me an asshat. He was saying people that drive on public roads like they would a track are asshats. I am pointing out that I fall in that category but only when I am not impacting others. There for in his eyes I am an asshat and I am fine with that. Hahaha |

I drive like an asshat every chance I get. For the record ever car I have owned for over 30 years has been a MT.
