The jerkoffs who think their shit is so special they can park however they want are the ones that need to grow up. I've seen these pricks park in the handycap spot and jog into the store. Fuck emDilbert_X wrote:

True, it's only like what? 80-90% of the worlds cars outside the US that have manuals?Runs_with_sciss0rs wrote:

Rush hour traffic in Paris is brutal AFAIK.Ilocano wrote:

As much as you Europeans say you prefer manual, auto is still a premium purchase for the common European. In the states, it just happens we can afford automatic more readily. Manual to us are relegated to poor people or driving enthusiasts. And even then, some enthusiasts cars have "auto-clutch" manuals these days.
Depending on the car they happen to be around 3-4k more for auto tranny. And i own a auto tranny car and absolutly love it. Peace of mind is awesome!Sydney wrote:

Also, I never connected being poor with owning manuals, there isn't really that much of a price difference last I checked.
Manuals are just more fun to drive.
How wide are your typical highways, each way? Highways, meaning areas with no stop signs/signals. Our freeways with only on-ramps and off-ramps.TSI wrote:

Fine, let down their tyres.west-phoenix-az wrote:

I like autos, esp for city driving, you have that bit of extra time to watch other traffic. Most autos have torque converter lockup above a certain speed so they don't lose much efficiency.Ilocano wrote:

Could've had someone cross-parked in the spot, but he shouldn't have stuck his ass out.Runs_with_sciss0rs wrote:

Our highways are depending from 3-4 lanes, most of the times even 2 lanes.Ilocano wrote:

Because the roads in America are bigger, wider, more lanes which makes driving a cruising luxury.TSI wrote:
