Obsolete things that won't go away

[Cooter]

I love manuals, but it'll likely be a long time before I own another. I'm currently way too spoiled by being able to program all aspects of shifting, converter lockup, etc.

the vehicles I mess with are WAY quicker with an auto and the autos are MUCH stronger and more reliable

but I do love the visceral feel of a true three-pedal manual car

they are essentially obsolete at this point

If it doesn't have 3 pedals, it's not a manual transmission. Paddle shifters are useless toy, that 95% of the time are never used after the first week of ownership.

Far from useless and a toy...but you are correct that it's not used 95% of the time.

You know Mr. and Mrs. Changedrop too?

I gotta stop browsing this board when my old lady is asleep. I just woke her up, not because I was laughing, but because I was shaking so hard from choking back a laugh.

So ● has any one mention Crossfit.

I think I might have gotten made fun of last time I ate asian food with chop sticks, but all I heard was "ching chong ping ping I can't drive for shit, and my house smells like fish"

so fuck them

Hell when my Asian friends use a fork and make fun of round eyes for using them it should say something...

Chop Sticks!!!

We eat Thai every Friday at lunch, have for a couple years. I can usually pick out the douche bags as they come in that are going to pick up the fucking things. They sit there and try to impress someone by using them while they make the rest of their party wait for them to fumble around with them. Even seen them go as far as to use a fork to cut up their noodles and place in a nice pile then swap back to the chop sticks.
I want to rip the damn things out of their hands and stab them in the fucking ear hole with it!!!

Haha.. Eating noodles is one of the few times I prefer to use chop sticks. They work great for that. You don't cut the noodles first, you pick up a load of noodles, shove one end into your mouth and bite down to sever the rest of the noodles, allowing them to fall back to the plate. Way easier than the fork and spoon spaghetti trick.

Just because you never learned how to use one effectively doesn't mean the rest of the population should suffer from your bush-league driving skills.

Haha, the same response can be used regarding chop sticks!

[SS Junk]

I should have been more specific. Manual transmissions with foot clutches. It isn't 1936. Let's move on.

heh, I like chopsticks...make me eat slower, otherwise I'd be done way too quick. A lot of folks use them.

For commuting I totally agree, but they are so much more effective than a traditional manual or automatic for aggressive driving. Admittedly more so on a turning track than in the straight-line, but hardly "useless" for those that use them.
