Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

Hey someone finally understood the reference!

 

I have never owned an automatic. Just love the connection of driving a manual. Dying breed....

 

I owned the auto for about 7 months... big mistake.

 

Well, if it's an obscure gaming reference ...my money is on @Tacos in Gensokyo lol

 

My parents forced me into video games. They saw how much destruction I could accomplish with my bare hands, and feared what I'd break/build if they made me play outside.

 

I hear ya

 

I've never seen 25 mpg on mine, not even riding in 6th on the highway for long trips. I have a tendency to be a little heavy footed though. I average 17.8 in town and +/- 19 on highway.

 

would be blown away with 25!

 

I probably get my best gas mileage on back roads.

 

Back roads. Get to 40-ish in 2nd and dump to 6th. 23 is easy. It is also no fun. Between some lonely wet roads and some backwoods gravel roads today I went sideways enough that the traction crap sounded like a constant buzz. Knocked my tank average down by two MPG on the last quarter! haha! Will still hit 18+ on this tank, but is no longer over 20 indicated. Highway is 18 at best, only if it is 65-70. Doing 75 with traffic I see about 17.

 

I have no idea what I get. Maybe now that the weathers warmer, I'll run the tank dry and keep track for a bit.

 

Do you have mods and what speed do you usually drive on the freeway. Do you have flat roads or lots of hills. Do you use your brakes to slow down?

 

There is "B.S" in the thread title and I'm invoking it.

April in Western NY.

 

Yeah I like winter, but this one needs to end already

 

Since we are not a sticky anymore we need BS a few times a day to keep this towards the top.

 

I hate Winter and this shit is dragging on forever, we have another Winter Storm warning for tomorrow night and Saturday.

 

I made something fun.





3D printing is just amazing.

 

What happened to the sticky thread status? Prejudice against Manual tranny users?

 

They are trying to keep the little man down.
