Should Men Be Able To Drive Stick?

[hi_im_god]

i don't think it's any less manly to drive an automatic but you're really missing out on a joy. sticks are fun. that's why people like them. downshifting into a turn and accelerating out of it makes you smile.

and while we're on the subject of driving, rear wheel drive rocks. but even if you have front wheel drive, manual is more fun than auto.

I drove a Honda S2000 for a little while (divorce present to myself) and it was 6 speed. I couldn't imagine driving a car like that with an automatic. Would have been incredibly boring.

Never thought about the possible gayness of it. I was just happy to find a big boy car that I could reach the pedals and still see over the steering wheel at the same time.
