He said, perfect driving skills... moron.

so youre saying "driving skills" does not involve the coordination of gas, brake pedals and steering?
a-heeeeeheeeeee

The family car is an auto. So it's auto for me. But I have driven a manual (Ford Econovan. Bagospanners gear box, inconsistent clutch take up point) so I wasn't anywhere near entertaining as I imagine a manual 325i would be, or any other manual passenger car.

Auto, manual is a bitch in city traffic. That is all.

[nwatts]

Auto, male. I regret not learning on the manual, but a car's a car.

I drive a manual (got my red P's in one). I have extremely limited experience in an auto and don't feel as safe for some reason.. I agree that in traffic a manual can be a bitch (sometimes I'm really not in the mood to be going from 1st-2nd and back again) but I usually enjoy driving my car.

In a way, it is an auto because I never have to think about when to change gears anyway.

Haha! I'm getting to that stage, where its just "yeah whatever, change up change down..". I've never driven an auto though...ever

Haha I'm inclined to agree with you there. Although I'm an auto driver because I was brought up that way (all our family's cars here are auto).

i spent my early teens playing around with my dad's truck, getting used to the clutch and all. it paid off, cos when i got my L's i was able to co-ordinate my feet, but i didnt have a car to pracise gear changing. lol i remember going to Lebanon straight after i got my Ls and my uncle let me drive his manual car (with him inside of course ) i was looking at the gear stick when i had to change gears, like i didnt know where the gear stick had to go

but then again, i still didnt have a manual car over here, but when we did get one it took me about a week and i was driving good enough to do many stuff, but only recently have i mastered the art of double clutching and thrashing civics with a thrashed car.

had my handbrake actually stopped you from rolling down a hill, i might have mastered a few more skills.

Auto - female.

I'm on my L's and going for my P's in 3 weeks time
However, I can drive manual, but I want to perfect the art of driving before I try for my manual licence.

Right now, I don't trust my boyf's car. It hasn't been serviced properly for a while, and the gearbox's about shot.

 

[RUB!X]

male manual ...
shame on u male autos ... shame ... *shakes head*

 

[veterandoggy]

i was ex- male auto, but now i'm a hybrid, leaning to manual.

for the slow people, i drive both atm, but manual is the one i drive/prefer more.

 

[seremify007]

Haha I thought you meant you switched to CVT hybrid (ie. hybrid cars using CVT transmission).

:uhhuh: Luckily I don't have to use that road often as I come from a different angle

I'm finding it strange that people comment on guys not driving manuals but not girls... why is this? Are males just "expected" to know how to drive them??
