$800,000 that could probably be used to buy 16 way nicer cars
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;44650356]at least with supercars, they should all come with overhead switches for maximum drama [t]http://old927.warbirds-online.org/blogimages/EngineRunUp_10C3E/IMG_1562.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] If a car's more than 400k and it doesn't come with time circuits it can fuck off.

They look kind of nutty.

[QUOTE=Lamar;44659383]Those are cloud motifs, it looks better in the other pictures.[/QUOTE] Oh okay, I guess I can kind of see it but yeah, it's hard to tell in that photo. I think something classic like woodgrain or something would have been a better design choice though.
[QUOTE=TestECull;44650338]Am I the only one in the entire world that prefers turn-key ignition to all this fancy push-button bullshit?[/QUOTE] I like being able to walk out to my car, get in, and drive off without having to fumble for keys.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;44653467]Manual > auto any day tbh[/QUOTE] I wouldn't want to drive stick if I were driving block by block.
[QUOTE=darunner;44659665]I like being able to walk out to my car, get in, and drive off without having to fumble for keys.[/QUOTE]This is why I have push to start. I press a button on the doors to unlock them, hop in, press the brake, and press the start button. That's all there is to it. No need to take out keys or anything.
[QUOTE=Abrown516;44659802]I wouldn't want to drive stick if I were driving block by block.[/QUOTE] It doesn't take that much effort dude.. If you masturbate with your right hand, you more than likely have the energy required to operate a manual gearbox vehicle in a city.

Automatics are a lot nicer to drive in environments where you aren't going all the time, holding the clutch down every other minute or so because you just missed a green is fucking annoying. Learn to drive manual, I don't care why you wouldn't want to learn to drive manual, but unless you have some form of disability that prevents you from doing so you have no reason too not learn it. At least that way you can drive literally any car you sit your ass in.

HEAVILY agree with the second part of your post.. Learned to drive in my old 1993 Corolla 5 spd manual here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Driving a manual has saved my ass so many times in this city full of retard drivers..
When I first started off driving manual, at a red light I would keep it in gear but have the clutch in for the entire red light until my foot started to get tired. Now I just put it in neutral and let off the clutch, just staying on the brake.

Something no automatic car I've touched has managed yet, though they aren't exactly performance cars so what the hell was I expecting.
[QUOTE=Aetna;44653239]That dash is total shit. The tachometer is off on the passenger side of the car?[/QUOTE] That's actually not a bad thing according to some people, some people that drive cars with designs like that say it's actually easier to look at.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;44663049]That's actually not a bad thing according to some people, some people that drive cars with designs like that say it's actually easier to look at.[/QUOTE] The only advantage I could see is that sometimes when I'm turning at an intersection, my steering wheel blocks the Tach. Obviously I can judge when to shift but it can make things a bit awkward depending on the situation
