Are manual trannys old school, out of style/function?

Houston/DFW rush hour dead lock hell yeah done it several times.

 

huh , sounds great

 

Austin is even worse bro

 

You're only 47? I mean that's still old and all but I always thought you were 70 or so.

 

For me, the MT is admittedly a personal preference, but a joy to drive in this mountainous terrain; it's nice to be in control of the gearing going up and down the mountains. I also concur that it is a certain measure of theft protection. (Though, my 23 year old daughter reluctantly learned to drive a manual and now she never wants anything else!) However, why in blazes did Toyota use a 3.61 ratio for reverse in the 6-speed? It makes backing my utility trailer up my steep driveway a real chore without first dropping it into 4L.

 

I avoid that cesspool of sodomy like the plague. Not even part of Texas as far as I am concerned.

 

Amen!

 

that's a really weird thing to say

 

omg hilarious lol

 

Truth is a funny thing some times.

 

San Antonio should be the capital ergghhhh, and whats wrong with Austin???

 

Houston or Texas City would be my vote.
Love the smell of the refineries in the morning. Lol

Salvador Dali was an amazing painter

 

Im 23 and never thought i'd drive an auto, the right deal,color, etc fell into place and I ended up going with an auto. I learned to drive with a manual, which is few and far between with friends my age. If I had the $$ and not heeps of school loans I would have went with manual and bought new instead of used. I would say it isn't a dieing breed but an "exclusive crowd" I guess would be a good term to use.
