Wait you drive manuals only?


I’m kidding!

 

My driveway has more manuals than autos. I think my double cab is the only auto right now until one of our roommates returns.

 

What? Ninja edits? I didn’t edit it at all?

 

@eon_blue doesn't know how to drive auto. It’s to advanced for him. Lol

 

My buddy had his sister ride with me on our CO trip since he has a single cab F250. She had never driven an auto before or used cruise control. Blew my mind.

 

Eh. Doesn’t surprise me. My girlfriend was perplexed by my tacoma when we first started dating. She had only ever driven manuals. Now I can’t get her to drive a manual again

 

I drive my wife's Accord a lot and it's an auto, what I really can't stand about autos is the delay in downshifting when you need more power. It almost always takes a few seconds and sometimes it won't respond to more throttle at all until you mash the pedal and then it decides to drop a gear. Drives me nuts, I can only imagine what it must be like with modern day autos and 8+ gears. Probably the opposite, too much shifting

 

whoa never seen this Yota before...guessing it was just a concept car and never made it into production?



Look at that shaggin wagon

 

The down shift delay does suck.


But a shift kit gets that sorted out real quick.

 

Ya I mean her Accord is pretty old and I imagine newer auto transmissions are more intuitive and advanced. I just like knowing exactly what to expect

 

That reminds me we had a Kia Optima rental in Oregon a couple months back and I fking hated the trans in that thing, talk about indecisive...must be what the 3rd gen guys feel like with theirs

 

Modern autos suck. I hate 8 speeds especially. Although it is neat the new Camry can do 100mph at 1900 rpm

 

You're making a terrible mistake.

I still have nightmares about the AstroTurf.

 

Hope you don't get stuck with the roof down cause the sun will bake you alive

 

Trail Limo

 

Was she hot?

 

I want to do that to my wifes Rav4 but more ralley and less overland. Her auto has diff lock.

 

You said t4r yesterday man - you meant a 2.7? Supercharger should affect your mpgs if the skinny pedal gets more love because you feel a little more like gunning it. Just drive a cross over for the mpgs and storage space and keep the truck

 

A manual Rav4?

 

@Blue92
I just got back from St Louis area yesterday
which interstate did you take to get out of there?

the first one I went on was the i64 towards Louisville, the road conditions on the IL side was horrific, hope you did not spill your coffee drive or whatever you had, i was cringing waiting for my suspension to implode and stranded in East St Louis next to the graffiti

even the i70 bridge, which is a fairly new structure (10yrs maybe?), was total garbage, newish pavement should NOT be that condition
