    manual goes vrm when you tell it to
    automatic kinda ponders it for a bit

    even if you don't drive a manual I think you should be taught even just the basics when you learn to drive

    Yeah you're a big fan of the tube. But it's nice that you dont have to deal with the hassle of insurance, fuel, registration fees, the worry of having your car stolen (Happens often here in LA)

    Manuals look cool in movies, I drive a manual because my parents both have manuals
    I'm sure automatics are much easier to drive tho ;)

    those are only available in certain cars such as sports cars
    I remember you telling me you drove a volkswagen. I forgot what model exactly lol. Do you still drive that?
    Manuals are fine, they just annoy the hell out of me sometimes tbh. Automatics are fun and easy to drive imo

    Manual if you wanna go
    NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEERRRR *ckchr* NIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR *chchr* NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

    Automatic if you wanna go
    NEEER *oobfm* NEEEEEER *oobfm* NEEEEEEEEEER *oobfm* Neeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I'd rather automatic if I'm just going from point a to point b. Save Manual for the tracks, overseas, or if you wanna entertain someone in your car (or scare them, both work)

    And I encourage driving safe, broskis. Don't let the urge of waking up all your neighbourhood override the sense of driving safely. It's dangerous.

    p.s. you probably want a manual license, it opens up job opportunities and allows you to find a car easier if you're on holidays, especially overseas

    p.s.s. since we're on the topic of hottest cars now, nothing beats the new and old Honda/Acura NSX

    Why?

    BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Volkswagens and such have a lot of electronic systems that break down after a couple years of ownership. Most German cars, that are made in the US (or Mexico) often have poor reliability and the maintenance is expensive. Parts cost a lot and in some cases, they're just made cheaply (BMW is great example of this)

    I often stay away from German cars unless they're in Germany or somewhere in Europe and stick with Japenese Cars, such as Toyota and Honda, and a few American cars. Japenese cars may not have every single technology feature out there (but they do have a lot) but they are made to last, with the exception of most Nissans, Mitsubishis, and Subarus.

    I personally like the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider the best. Especially in the specific colour: ‘Chrome White’- which is this nice metallic white colour. I spend long hours on their website configuring my own car. Hopefully I get the chance to own one one day! Although I wouldn’t count on it :/. I would consider myself a bit of a ‘hot head’ when it comes to cars hehe.
