Manual elite

idk but auto drivers should be Pathetic Auto Scum like on facebook JK

Three Pedal Society for manual drivers

honestly, there's nothing like ripping it up the mountain or a nice background and shifting gears, rev matching to go around a corner and feeling the car take you where you command it. All these kids say "BuT aUtO iS fAsTeR nOoB" ok, you're just too scared to learn manual...

Oh hell yeah, I am down for a Manual group 👌

if you don't clutch you ain't much

I'm not an auto car hater by any means, but there definitely is a certain edge about driving with that third pedal and having to shift the gears yourself. My current two (soon to be one) vehicles are both manual transmission. Both are standard 5-speed manual sedan cars.

I love manuals - but getting harder and harder to get high performance manuals. I've tracked McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and some Porsche models where manual wasn't even an option. I saved my Porsche with a manual as my new daily needed for high speed passing on backroads before curves is an auto G70 Sport/Prestige/Elite 3.3TT. You don't want to hit a cow in a 2700 lbs Porsche - which is my fun weekend car that is manual. It's not as fast as my daily, but a lot more fun. It took getting used to an auto as I haven't driven one in 25 years outside of work rental cars when traveling.

I like them due dont have to rely on a ecu to keep constantly shifting. Able to hold the rpm in the gear you want to help go up a hill when loaded. Why I'm glade my daily and work truck are both manuals.

I’m definitely down for a manual car fan group. 

What about Hyundai’s iMT (intelligent manual transmission) that has only 2 pedals but a normal manual shifter lol. Interesting system but I don’t understand the appeal or advantage it has over having a clutch pedal.

I drive a standard.  

So I’m a dude from the Uk that’s a totally manual country. Now live in Australia which is a Auto country, total mindfu*k. Needless to say, I have sought a manual car here. Can’t believe so many ppl have auto only licenses tho 🤦‍♂️

I hated manual transmission when I first started driving, until my Dad dropped me off 15 miles from home, and the only way back was to drive manual. Greatest thing he could have done.

I'm 36 now, and almost exclusively have driven manuals. I don't argue why they are better, I just like them. (Although it is hard to argue with that feeling you get grabbing the perfect upshift). Lucky to have a wife that prefers manuals as well.

Vehicles I've had that were manual.

1985 Mitsubishi Dodge Colt 3 door hatch - refused to drive it and parents sold it (I was an idiot)
1998 Sonoma 2.2ltr - forced to learn on, came to love it. 
2002 Saturn SC2 - Those 1.9 DOHCs riiPPPED. 
2006 VW Rabbit 2.5 Hatch - Crashed avoiding deer. Tuned and mild bolt ons. Loved it
2015 VW Passat 1.8tsi - Last year for manual Passats in the US. We still daily it.
2017 Mazda3 2.5 Hatch Touring - Brilliant car. Needed more room so it was traded in for...
2020 Tacoma TRD OffRoad. Shifts like a tractor. I love it. Old school rowing the boat.

We have manual Elitist jerks on spacehey?! This is frikken awesome. Like the internet cockroaches except obviously ELITE.

Manual is the preferred way to drive here in the UK.

i nerver drove an automatic it feels weird even thinking about trying it

i just learned manual not too long ago. very fun! any tips on getting better? (smoother shifts, less stalling, etc.) 

uhhhhhhhh does auto with manual shifers count =D

Hardly anyone can drive a stick where I live. so trips I'm usually the dd . But... hayyyy I love my car.

Just dropped 250 bucks on a hurst competition plus shifter for my m-22. Better be worth it lol

driving manual jus makes you feel more connected to the car and road more than a auto ever could. simply just better

Lmao I joined like 10 seconds ago, clicked on automotive forums and saw this at the top. As a member of MEJ, I approve this post

I've been driving standard for about half a year. Swapped my 88 e30 but kind of miss just cruising with auto tbh. It's fun cause I have ADHD but kind of a lot when I have no AC and no radio I came to a learning obstacle trying to learn to heel-toe because the brake and clutch pedals are far as hell from the gas for me. Are they supposed to be at the same level?

Manyy 

Mr./Ms. ADHD wym using heel toe because clutch and brake are distant.
Heel Toe it's used to downshift gear smoothly, what is the connection to "clutch and brake are far as hell"
btw they're not supposed to be at the same level
