It's bad enough you can hardly find a manual fucking transmission anymore... I never want to set foot in a car without a steering wheel and pedals.

I'm all for embracing technology... I just enjoy (and much prefer) driving a vehicle on my own.

They've made the trannys so much better than a human can do it's not even funny now.HesCalledDyer said:It's bad enough you can hardly find a manual fucking transmission anymore... I never want to set foot in a car without a steering wheel and pedals.
No need for a clutch and a shifter anymore.
They do have those paddle shifter things that I hate though...0 -
I have yet to drive an automatic that is better at selecting gears than I am. Smooth shifts, sure. Intelligent shifts, not even close.tempo_n_groove said:

Pick up an issue of Car and Driver. They complain about the lack of a stick shift too but know that the tech is there in the sportscars now.0 -

They do have those paddle shifter things that I hate though...Transmission technology is great. The Prius transmission isn't even separate gears, it's more like an elongated cylinder. My car savvy nephew explained it to me a few years back- pretty sophisticated.But that said, there is nothing like the driving experience of manually shifting through the gears. Maybe not so fun in a place like San Francisco where there is a stop sign at the top of a street like this (I've done it many a time and never rolled back into someone but have come mighty close!):
But on a road like this one, nothing beats a good automatic tranny:

On a trip back from the Sequoias in Cali the descent was pretty steep so I kept shifting the automatic from gear to gear. My GF asked "why" I kept fidgeting with the stick. I told her to sniff the outside and what do you smell? That smell are peoples brakes and that is bad!!!brianlux said:tempo_n_groove said:

When employers stop providing phones to employees and instead offer a stipend and force employees to download corporate apps on their personal phones...
Is THAT invasion of privacy?
(Because you know employers will sue for access if there are ever any "corporate" issues)0 -
My company does this already. Well they give you an option actually.Lerxst1992 said:When employers stop providing phones to employees and instead offer a stipend and force employees to download corporate apps on their personal phones...

I was concerned a bit at first and then realized everything about me was already out on the web.
