Another one bites the dust.

GF's son has a 6 speed man tran Jeep sitting in the driveway. "He wants" an automatic.

Man alive, I'd have been ALL OVER that Jeep learning to drive it when I was 16. Kids ain't the same today.
U said a mouth full there! But it’s because of their parents their parents are weak also compromised by fear of learning
 
I very much want to go back to a manual transmission. My last truck a 2012 Nissan Frontier was a 6 speed. I sold it about 5 years ago. I bought a 2021 Toyota Tacoma but I drive the FIAT pretty much every day. But I'd really like manual for my next sports car.
 
Only way I’d want a standard, is a heavy duty truck. I ain’t talking a F350 or 3500, I mean 550,5500 or bigger. Just no advantage and I grew up with manual transmissions
 
Driving the speed limit while getting a BJ from your girlfriend is easier with an automatic. And don't have your girl knocking the vehicle out of gear laying on it.

Me I can drive either because I no longer have a girlfriend.

Just a dirty old man.
 
Mrs Roundhouse hates driving automatics .

And that’s part of what attracted me to her

We met on a blind date and she was cute , smart (masters degree in mathematics, minor in education , piano and calculus )
From the same socioeconomic background and comparable religious and morals , no crazy , no drama , and she drive a manual trans by choice (she had a red Chevy Cavalier with the four cylinder and 5 speed )

Her current ride is a 2009 turbocharged Mini Cooper with the six speed .



There’s still quite a few of us who like to Drive our cars , not just steer them .


I learned how to drive in my
Moms 67 Beetle and my dads spare car ,
A 63 Mercury Meteor, with the 221 V-8 and three on the tree , Manual drum brakes on all four wheels , no power steering and no seatbelts .

Then all my 18 wheelers had a 9 or a 13 speed .
And my bronco had the three on the tree and now has a five speed manual .

It’s sad , but that’s what this world is coming to . Bunch a weenies who can’t drive a manual .
You can’t even get a corvette with a manual anymore

And you can’t get a manual in ANY pickup I don’t think .


And most of the 18 wheelers have automatics now.

If you aren’t co ordinated enoigh ti drive a manual, you got NO business driving a 18 wheeler .

And you can see the intelligence and quality of truck drivers now that they all have automatics .
