Automatic...Dumbest invention ever? Maybe...
I cant think of a reason why anyone would want to own an automatic. Which also leads me to think, why do so many people drive automatics, and what is wrong with people if thier is a manual alternative. Which then makes me wonder why people mod thier automatics, Which then leads me to wonder why the automatic was ever invented, when it has absolutely no advantages over manuals, except maybe allowing women the ability to drive I guess (j/k!):wigglesmiley:
Manuals are lighter, less complicated (less moving parts and such therefore easier to fix and maintain), get better gas mileage, give more power than automatic counterpart, put you in control of the car much better, are WAY more fun, can start a dead battery by popping the clutch... the only advantage I see in an automatic is...none? except allowing the driver to be lazy and text/talk on the phone more while driving..
[/rant]
Yeah..so does anyone agree with me that manuals are much better to have, and there is not point to owning an automatic? Please express your opinons!
p.s. this is no offense to anyone in this forum that drives an automatic, I'm not racist against automatic drivers (well maybe a little, jk again..). This is just my view on automatic as opposed to manuals.
