[QUOTE=Van-man;51564491]Satisfies my inner controlfreak, but it also sucks if you're mainly driving in stop&go traffic. But I'd rather take a detour and enjoy smooth & flowing traffic instead and burn a little extra fuel than that shit.[/QUOTE] I live and work around NYC. All we know is stop and go. So a manual isn't an option for me. If I was in a more rural state, with less traffic, I'd probably go with a manual.

[QUOTE=Lerlth;51566186]Stage 1 PCM on my PT Cruiser made the trans wakeup. It shifts so god damn fast now. Plus it's an auto stick. You can literally put it in any gear and it will stay. You can start from a stop in 3rd. It's pretty awesome.[/QUOTE] Do I have to read out loud the definition of "control freak"? [QUOTE=clutch2;51566203]There's something about driving a stick that makes you feel more bonded to the car. Spooling up the engine, stabbing in the clutch, yanking it into the next gear.. it's all very, primordial is the car sense. It just makes me feel good. But.. I'm not totally sure I'd want a stick as a daily. I'm not a morning person and there's days (especially really cold days) where I welcome not having to worry about shifting. I can concentrate on just staying awake[/QUOTE] Funny enough that's what actually wakes me up properly in the morning, those few times driving something slushbox or flappy paddles always ended with me grumpier than when I got out of bed.
I get out of bed at around 7 and wake up at noon with the help of a full pack of cigarettes

[QUOTE=Binladen34;51564289]I was gonna buy a [B]Subaru WRX STI[/B] but nobody in my state had it with an a[B]utomatic transmission[/B]. And I didn't wanna learn manual. THESE ARE THE PRICES WE PAY. [editline]21st December 2016[/editline] Also cause I'm a federal agent I can throw blue and white lights on it, and say it's my personal and duty car.[/QUOTE] That's because STIs don't come in automatic.
Here's what broke my landing: [t]https://puu.sh/sXBFi.jpg[/t] And my spine.
I really get pissed off when i see a truck trying to overtake another truck which results in stopping the whole fucking highway. I don't even see the point when trucks are only allowed to drive 90km/h and 80km/h if you have a a trailer attached. I almost got killed by a trucker with a trailer yesterday because the idiot decided to overtake which almost resulted in hitting me from the side with his bouncing like crazy trailer. So many truckers here have no regards towards smaller vehicles or anyone else on the road. :suicide:
[QUOTE=Apache249;51568752]That's because STIs don't come in automatic.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but I was also looking for a WRX Premium/Limited in auto. They still didn't have 'em. Whatever, charger was cheap as fuck, and it's a decent car. Plus I think it'll be fun to work on maybibly.

Winter is causing all sorts of little problems to pop up in the Volvo. My heated seats are literally burning a hole in the leather.

[QUOTE=Van-man;51569228]Rolling roadblocks[/QUOTE] I once saw a pickup truck trying to pass a semi truck on the interstate that took 10 miles to get past. ...going 15mph under the limit. Pretty sure he got a middle finger from almost every car that finally got past him, including me.

[QUOTE=Apache249;51575522]I take it they're also burning a hole in your ass?[/QUOTE] Surprisingly no. I noticed smoke coming from the corner of my seat. Around the seam area a spot had metled and that's where the smoke was coming from. I thought something else was on fire and coming out of a vent or something. Gonna have to look up how to deconstruct the seat. But for the meantime I'll just have to deal with cold leather seats while the car heats up.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;51576501]i mean i've seen far more chp driving the PIU now, rip cvpi[/QUOTE] Yep, they're being phased out - most of their CV's are beyond patrol mileage limits so they mostly do construction assist details and EVOC training with them
