Honestly, why is everyone so damned pompous when it comes to stick shifts and the 350Z? It's like you have a nicely modified Z or G35 with an automatic, and all you get is a bunch of faceless trolls saying cap like "ZOMG, you gots teh slushbox, lolz, you are teh suck! I am so much more manly than you because my car has a stick shift!" I mean honestly, why do so many people have to be such haters?

For the record, I like my manual vehicles to have two wheels as opposed to four. I may drive an automatic car, but at least I have the ***** to be something other than a cager when I go out for recreation. Since when did it take ***** to drive a stick shift anyways?

 

Defensive much?


To use your motorcycle comparison - it's like having an automatic sport-bike. It's still kind of cool and fun, but it could be much better.

 

Automatic sportbike, what? I didn't know such a thing existed, a better question would be why would such a thing exist. My R6 is a manual, as with virtually all sportbikes.

 

Yes, why would an automatic sport-bike exist? The same question can be applied to sports cars.

 

You've never driven around LA before, haven't you?

Cars aren't toys.

 

@Ethix- hehe nice one there!!

but what about ferraris and Lambos... they don't have stick anymore?

 

I'm with JJ350.
I don't get it. Why is this issue such a big deal to some people anyways?

"ooh look im a M/T driver, see me row through gears u g@y A/T pos!" lame. It doesn't even take much effort to learn and drive a M/T! My first car was a M/T and got a A/T when i bought the Z. Again what's the big deal?

At the Circuit/ AutoX i've spanked some DSG's, Porsche carrera's, and other M/T cars using my almost-stock Z. So what's the big deal about driving an M/T??? lol. fken haters.

the only time you will be needing a M/T is when u go drifting imo.

 

Your doing exactly what there doing you said at least you have the ***** to ride a bike and there calling you gay for driving an auto sports car, your both equating an action or a n object to represent your so called masculinity. If your such a so called man why does it bother you so much. A so called man would shrug it off and do whats best for him best. Its like it takes away from your manhood every time someone says it. I prefer a m/t sports car you dont thats your business I could careless as you do with my preference.

 

by creating this thread, you are acting just like those you are complaining about. way to go

 

Manual vs Automatic. Sorry but its been done before.

 

It is not an issue, it's a matter of choice. What you drive doesn't make you who you are and neither does the type of transmission you have. I like my z with the M/T and I like my truck with the A/T.

 

There no use in starting another one of these. Go read the dozens of other thread on the exact same subject. Or even better, just drop it.
