Top10: Reasons Real Men Drive Stick
http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/cars/top...-stick_1p.html
the list in short: 10. A manual transmission is the ultimate in control 9. You can use automotive jargon and not sound like a total tool 8. You can't spell "manual" without "man" 7. Manual transmissions prove you can do more than one thing at a time 6. You can't drift in an auto 5. You can't pull fancy moves in an automatic 4. You get better fuel economy with a stick 3. You’ll never look like a chump if you can drive stick 2. Manual transmission cars are faster 1. Women like a guy who is good with his hands. |

Real men don't need to drive a stick to be a REAL MAN. Men that drive a stick and think that makes them a real man have issues with their manhood. Go grow a pair already.

They are both fun. It's up to the driver to have a blast with whichever one they chose...

Automatics are boring.
I never could disgrace my camaro with an automatic. That belongs in the daily driver. |
