Enjoy driving objectively in a more annoying vehicle for your daily driving just so that you can fantasize racing your shitbox on a track to gain the 0.000001% extra performance that you only get if you shift perfectly, which you can also get with paddle shifters anyway.

Automatic is more annoying for me tbh, but I known people who prefer automatic over manual. Its subjective.

How can not having to do something be more annoying than having to do something?

I have had automatics most of my life and I'm near 50. With that being said I find driving manual more stimulating and takes away from the absolute boring monotony that driving in a low population area of the Midwest entails. A manual is much more engaging and just plain fun at times.

Transmission snobbery is dumb either way. Thankfully there's been a lot less of it over the years. I'd always asked the people who were hardcore against automatics if they still hand crank their engines. Don't see the point in looking down on people who prefer manual either.

I think the effectiveness of this topic is a little lost on some without quotes from douchey manual drivers TC

But I see you. One of my friends is so annoying about it. He's so proud of this skill and will talk about its advantages over automatic transmission forever

It's in response to MT elitism? Do you really think it happened the other way around?

I honestly prefer driving it. It's nice being completely in control. With that being said, I'll take the fuel efficiency of hybrids (which only come in auto) over a slight preference; the auto is still gonna get me where I need to go.

Same. My city is congested and has very short traffic light cycles, so you are lucky to get out of third gear and youre constantly changing gears. I had a back injury that made the constant leg work sort of uncomfortable, so I was happy to switch to an automatic. I know how to drive a manual if I need to, though, and thats all that matters.

It's not as big of a thing as it used to be. It was worse years and years ago and manual elitists would say the dumbest crap about people who preferred automatics (lazy, can't really drive, calling them babies and children, etc.). Now though, it's true that the topics are mainly people complaining about something that doesn't really happen anymore.

i think if you can drive stick and have fun with it its fine. i learned on a manual and i can understand how someone could really get into how shifting feels. i dont really give a fuck about a car beyond it being able to get me from point a to point b though so in the end i usually go with automatics

and tbh i dont notice nearly as many elitists about sticks anymore. it seems like a thing thats dying out over time. when i was younger online though it definitely was a thing to have people driving the shittiest cars imaginable and acting like they're unleashing the true power of THEIR MACHINE, and it was kind of funny. nothing to really get upset over though

You wouldn't, because you drive standard.

Some people enjoy manuals and that's fine. I don't know why, but if you actually like it more power to you.

Also automatics outperform manuals on gas mileage nowadays.

I prefer manual cars and automatic bikes.

I do feel that it makes sense for everybody to learn to drive in a manual though, as then you can drive anything.
