Oh no my manual transmission blew a clutch, better push my automobile to the nearest public telegram machine to send a ticker tape message to the nearest tow truck company, guess I'll have to ride my bicycle to my job riveting sheet metal together for the Allied Powers. I sure wish someone would invent a technology to replace literally the worst part of driving!

I drive an automatic because I hate driving and the less I have to do means I can focus more energy to more productive pursuits like trying to use telekinesis to explode some idiot shitfucker in an H2's head.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly to be honest.

Better hope your tires have good tread, which they likely don't because it's mostly poor people driving stick and new tires are expensive.

I got to agree, to a degree, yes, it does translate.

Model Ts have the throttle on the steering wheel I think, and a bunch of extra pedals. there was no standard format then

also heel-toeing to blip the throttle while you downshift and brake hard into a corner feels great

i wish econoboxes with manual transmissions were cheap here but they carry a premium because dumbass ricers will put lovely rims and mufflers on loving anything. it doesn't matter if it barely made 120 horsepower when it rolled off the lot or if it's rusted to the point it doesn't have paint anymore, it will probably get sold for like 2+ grand

i just like driving manual

i learned on a mini cooper though and i gotta say gently caress mini coopers, holy poo poo

What's wrong with the Mini Cooper transmission? The clutchfeel is like my favorite thing about it. It even keeps you from rolling backwards for 2 seconds after taking your foot off the brake when going uphill.
