Top10: Reasons Real Men Drive Stick

[Don Juan]

Found this on autoblog :lol1:

An automatic transmission is a fine accessory to have -- if you consider the application of concealer to be a vital part of your daily routine. Automatic transmissions are for those who find driving to be a confusing task, for those who need to focus 100% on pushing one pedal, but unfortunately find themselves frequently distracted by things like cell phones, makeup, favorite food items, and things that are shiny. One of the obvious downsides to this propensity to distraction is, when it comes time for these drivers to gently tug the steering wheel to either the left or right, they end up crashing into moving cars, parked cars or anything in their immediate vicinity.

Rather than admit that driving is a skill that needs to be practiced and mastered, the people who favor automatic transmissions blame their poor driving skills on everyone and everything else. “The tree jumped out into the middle of the road!” they will exclaim, quickly followed by a cry of, “There was no way to avoid it!” Of course, these drivers will be sure to omit the fact that they were texting, checking their lip gloss, and/or trying to master the use of the sippy cup holding their double tall nonfat chai latte.

You’ll never see a real man commit any of the driving atrocities mentioned above, because real men drive cars with manual transmissions. Real men understand that cars need three pedals, otherwise the vehicle is nothing more than a fancy golf cart. Men understand that driving is a skill, and that the best way to master this skill is to maintain absolute control of all aspects of a car at all times. If you think it’s better to let the car tell you what to do, you may as well turn in your testicles so that they don’t get in the way of your marathon sessions of watching The View.

Someone surely got excited by our mention of The View, and it is to this person we humbly suggest that they put down the Appletini and check out our list of the top 10 reasons real men drive stick.

My dad stuck me in a manual car at 15 and a half and said "Drive." Thats the only real way to learn in my opinion. I have never owned an automatic car.

You cant spell Manual without MAN.

Yes and much more completely boring. An acceleration rush is fun the first couple of times, but even driving an S2000, miata, hell a mini cooper S is more fun in the long run. Its more fun to drive a slow car fast than the other way around.
