Got my driver's license few days ago, was so happy...but there is a HUGE problem.
The car of my instructor was with auto transmission and very easy to drive. But our family car Laughing is with FUCKING MANUAL TRANSMISSION, it's a nice car but manual and it's FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE for me to drive it. Why it is so hard, WHY?!? Crying or Very sad
No money for good automatic car, and also unnecessary expense, because "you'll learn to drive a manual car anyway" my dad said. Crying or Very sad

WHY YOU JUDGE ME, LORD?!
WHY!!! Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Most cars sold in North America since the 1950s have been available with an automatic transmission.Conversely, in Europe a manual gearbox is standard, with 20% of drivers opting for an automatic transmission.

So in 'Murica they're driving cars with auto transmission since the 1950s, and more than 60 years later the people in Europe are still driving cars with manual transmission.
Dafuq, really?!

Yeah, I really don't see a point in learning to drive on an automatic. I mean, even I who has no licence, drove automatic without any problems.

I kinda get why thats normal in North America, as the majority of cars have auto transmission, but a Norwegian instructor would laugh at it. Probably no mandatory ice driving either (yes we even have it in the summer at a special course)

Iv actually never driven a car with automatic gear, but I can see how its convenient at rush hour, other than that (gain speed faster, fuel economy etc.) id always go for manual Smile

Manual all the way. I remember my dad's first experience with an automatic. He instinctively tried to step on the clutch after a bit of acceleration, and since there is no clutch in automatics, he stepped on the break. Took about three headbumps to make him stop doing it. Very Happy

He switched to auto recently (2 or 3 months before i start the course, my bad luck again Laughing ), can't say anything bad for him through, he was very patient and uncompromising at the same time, so i've learned to drive pretty good.

Manual may be fun when driving out of the town on road with little traffic, but it's hell in the city, where you have to start/stop and switch the gears frequently.
The worst moment is when i accidently switch to 3rd instead of 1st Laughing , idk, maybe it's not that hard, but i need some practice... Embarassed

Manual is the way to god dude seriously wtf automatic is for old, retired folks and fat, lazy people. You're never gonna get laid with an automatic transmission, manual transmission is what sports driving is all about.

All it takes is practice, if women can do it you can too.

Automatic got boring for me after I drove my dad's SUV twice. Manual gives u something to do while driving. Automatic feels like a fucking amusement park ride.

RWD + Manual + winter(snow) = Awesome
Well, you'll get to that Very Happy If its snow where you live Very Happy

Great to hear you like your instructor, mine was an asshole that was fired for making tasteless comments, especially towards female students. The only time he was really nice to me was my first session back when I was 16, he was really positive and whatnot, just so he could get a new customer is my guess. Here the instructor is not a part of the final exam, he just lent me the car with a qualified sensor, and he was just so awesome Very Happy So 0 errors and normal pulse Very Happy

In Scandinavia driver instructors are all private companies, and also known for embezzlement and tax fraud. Yeah, you wouldn't think such things happen here, but they do... always people trying to cheat the system.

No, manual is female mode. Horse or Bullriding is male mode. Auto is just for people who live mentally in 2013.

In Finland, if you drive your license with automatic car you are not even allowed to drive manual.

So, always do your drivers license with a manual.

But automatic fyr laif, that extra pedal is gay, I would rather just cruise along.
I still can drive a manual though.

What use is that löl, auto slides just fine.
Only thing you need for winter is a diff lock if you really want to have fun.

(Unless you really need that clutch to make it slide due to lack of POWEEEEEER)

So who gave you your man license? Daddy? Did daddy tell you were a real man because you knew how to operate a stick sideways?

Yours should be revoked for even suggesting that pulling a stick and stepping on a pedal in a certain way makes anyone more or less "man" or "woman".


Yes, yes I'm back.

Driving a manual in a town for several hours is masochism! Constantly having to fap around with that stupid stick etc.

Manual transmission FTW. Automatic transmission is for women (who can't tell transmission from cow shit) and really old men (70+). Brofist all you want, you have no excuse if you're young men.

pfft.. whining about manual..
I got 12 forward gears, 2 crawler gears and 4 reverse gears.
Theres also 2 2-way buttons on my gearstick I have to use when changing gears.

Shifting is so easy, I don't even have to think about what to do when changing gears.

I was a driver in army so I got pretty used to the sheer number of gears on trucks aswell heh

But it really isn't that hard in the end, you get used to it.
