    Thats when you get you a big wheel homey, lower center of gravity. Build up some better momentum that way...

    I never considered driving anything else besides Stick. Do you guys know that 99.9% of the cars in Europe are Stick?

    Not 99.9%, but definitely a high number. I've been there, and while i did see a really big number of manuals i also saw a fairly adequate number of autos.

    I sit in traffic everyday, i don't mind my manual, keeps me awake lol.

    I drove a stick for 4 years, never really hit traffic, so it never bothered me at all. Now that I have an auto, it bugs the shit out of me to have it.

    It really sucks to drive a weak manual in traffic, or uphill. Civic cx 70hp, 80trq
