I lived in Europe and I'm back for few months. Automatic rental car costs 2x of normal, so naturally I'm driving stick. I absolutely hate it. It's an absolutely ridiculous bullshit that needs to go (together with ICE's). I firmly believe the only reason stick is still being sold is so that rental companies could gauge their customers.
- ilyt 4y agoDamn, wait till you get on mountain bike, it has not one but TWO sticks that shift separate gears. And TWO brakes, one for each wheel ? How it is even possible for human to have that much coordination to rein in that monster ?!
- AlbertCory 4y agoIf you're really being precise about your gears, a shift-up or -down can involve both wheels. I never do that, though.
- davidw 4y agoMost modern MTB's have abandoned a front shifter and only have one for the cogs in the rear.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoHow about a horse then… I mean I’m taking my kids to daycare. Not focusing on lanes, speed, gears, rpm’s makes lets me focus more on road, traffic and cars ahead. Why people insist being a Luddite on even most frivolous things is a virtue?
- robjan 4y agoI think it's a cultural thing. We Europeans are just more used to driving manual transmission vehicles.
