[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;46772179]I think immigration in sweden is way too high to be sustainable, too bad there are so many people out there who would beat me to a pulp and flay me alive for holding such opinions.[/QUOTE] Your main reasoning (as you've shown in the past) is "the dirty scary muslems"
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46771374]If driving isn't fun, you're driving the wrong car. I absolutely LOVE driving, the classic deep sound of the 80s engine, my favorite songs playing on my sub/amp, it is my go-to thing if I'm having a bad day.[/QUOTE] I love driving, but I'm not a car nut at all. I just like going to places, learning the roads, and seeing the sights. God help you if you're on Route 3 southbound from Nashua and you're trying to get back onto I495 via the Lowell Connector. Confusing as balls. But I wouldn't know a thing about it if I had never driven through there before.
On cars. I am not sure how unpopular it is now, but I don't think driving a manual is better than driving an automatic. I feel it adds unnecessary complication and I'd only do it if I wanted to be a truck or van driver, where it'd be pretty much a requirement.

If they have a fleet of trucks, each driver perhaps driving a different one each week, there's too much variation between individual manual transmissions' feel, etc to expect drivers to account for it.

I'd be interested in truck driving myself, but not quite an 18 wheeler. Just like a little delivery truck or something. I think though they teach you on a manual here. I talk to a few truck drivers and they all say it's a requirement. I mean I can learn, but for day to day driving I just wouldn't bother with a manual.

But "less" is not necessarily critically so, and you are capable of driving an automatic and being in fine control of it. I do massively personally prefer manuals though, and think they should be a lot more commonplace. [quote]Oh, that does make sense.

I just view gear changing manually as something not really needed. But, that might come from me not having driven a manual. I base my opinion on it just seeming strange to have really, if I tried it I might like it. [QUOTE]Keep in mind I've heard that about big fleets - if it's only a few trucks they are indeed likely to be manual[/QUOTE] Yeah, the smaller company is what I'd like to work for. I assume bigger fleets would just have an easier time getting those kinds of trucks.

Bringing back Joey Jordinson would be one of dumbest things Slipknot could possibly do right now. Weinberg has already shown live that he has much more potential than Joey did prior to his departure from the band.

Season 1 and 2 are good but 3 was a fucking shambles in all regards, absolutely terrible. And yea the cinematography in 3 is nauseatingly bad.
Talking about how you're going to jack off to the potential iggy azalea sex tape or the previous fappening leaks is disgusting. Is normal consensual porn not enough?
[QUOTE=Magic Scrumpy;46754094]tacking something like "yeah man gIVE ME THESE boxes :dance: :dance:" at the end of your post is incredibly unconstructive and obnoxious. it also overall weakens the post by making it seem like the poster isn't really sticking to their guns. it makes it look like the poster made the post just to stir shit up. it's not a good look.[/QUOTE] Sry m8 I was really shitposting, never again.

It's called autoshift I believe the name was but I don't know the exact details of how it works. [QUOTE=Tomo Takino;46776372]I consider driving my car teamwork. I do all the thinking and the car does all the movement from my input. It irritates me when people say "With my manual I am much more in control of my car" but somehow I am not because I don't need to move a stick every so often?[/QUOTE] Automatics provide less control over your speed. In an automatic the only effective way of slowing down is by using your breaks and if your car wants to shift then it's shifting even if not shifting would make it easier to maintain your speed. With a manual you can downshift to control your speed without having to hit the break and if you find it easier to maintain a specific speed in a certain gear then you can choose not to upshift or downshift where an automatic would shift. (For example my last car, I found it a lot easier to keep a steady 40mph in 3rd gear because 4th gear wanted to hit no lower than 44mph unless I was going uphill.)
I usually prefer manuals. That being said, there are certain types of cars that just lend themselves to automatic transmissions. I wouldn't want to drive a manual land rover.
