If i had my way, my car would give me a hand job and make me a sandwich while it drives me to work.......
but since that option is not available.....
i will at least allow it to shift gears for me.

I like giving, so I prefer doing work for it.Quote:

I had no idea this thread would blow up like it has lol.
Ok, Simon. If it's the win you want, then you have it. You can finally tell everyone that you've bested me in an argument/debate, dude. This is going nowhere.Quote:

Sure, maybe a newer semi-auto box offers the same amount of control, but the driver has more overall control in a manual than an auto. It's not about winning some internet fight, don't get upset over it. lolQuote:

My sarcasm filters broke this morning but you're joking right?

Lol Lets see you down shift an auto hard like you would a manual tranny if you were going through curves. I can almost promise you it will break something after a time or two. Trust me, I went thru two trannies doing that when I was 16-17.
Yep. lol I had manual withdrawls back when I was 17 or so and my car was down, I had an auto Camry and would drive like that, I'd always blip the gas when I downshifted under braking so at least it never did some crazy wheel locking nose dive. lol :lmfao:Quote:

The e46 with the SMG trans is a really fun car. No clutch, but the raw feel of a manual shift and performance

I didn't even know you could do all this lol
If i only had one car it would be a manual, as well. I drive around a lot, so i prefer to do the least amount of work as possible.Quote:

Has anyone driven the new nissan's with the CVT transmissions? I think that's the best automatic transmission. almost feels like boost. haha
Eat a dick Matt !
The CVT in the Nissans are great for cars in that class. No annoying random downshifts or anything.Quote:

A sequential and tiptronic aren't the same. Not sure if the user was just speaking in general of non H-pattern xmsns or what? If I was building a drag car I'd like to have a dogbox, sequential for track use, and H pattern manual for everyday back woods driving.
