Topic: you've changed my opinion on transmissions, i will never buy an automatic again.

this has also made me reconsider my position on power windows. i don't really need to open any window other than the drivers side window, and the additional exercise you get is fully beneficial. plus you get so much control over the window level that it's crazy, and i can't tell you how many times i've had to fight with the auto up/down feature. "i want it open 3/4 of an inch, dammit! not all the way down!"i'll never fight my window button again. and power seats are for chumps, worm gears are so slow. give me a lever action manual adjustment anyday. plus it's so much cheaper and you have so much more control. you'd have to be stupid or lazy to get power seats.
power steering? what're you a pussy? i bet you have ABS too. Can't learn to pump your breaks, huh? not that hard.
if i don't have to crank the geartrain by hand to start the engine, then i'm a lazy pussy ameritard with a turn-key starter for idiots.
this is my new opinion.

I really cannot be fucking bothered to argue with squeegee again. Spending such a long time typing out stuff that disproves his/her argument multiple times all for it to be refuted with a one line response squeegee thinks is funny. Pointless.

but you just did this to me. i wrote a thorough and thought provoking commentary on the majority of idiots that don't control the pressure of their cooling system by way of a manual relief valve, and you come in here with your one liner and even say you can't be bothered to back it up.

You really get a lot more response and control out of manual window adjustments. It really improves my driving satisfaction.

I prefer to have direct control over the throttle and to be able to trigger the spark plug ignitions myself in my single-piston automobile. Lots of added control.

> that feel when @OP just described the rental car you had to park on a hill in a spot that is barely 1inch bigger on each side than the car

You don't want this automatic stuff, you want down & dirty hands-on action. You don't like it to just slide into gear with ease. You like to work that stick and grind those gears. Who needs power steering fluid? That's for pussies.
You know how you like your trannies, you love your ride looking beautiful on the exterior, but when it comes to what's under the hood, you love the stick shift.

I god I've hated Freud ever since some girl told me she was "anal" once. I got all excited only to find out she meant to say "fastidious."
