I Miss Manual

Man I miss driving manual cars. Due to practical reasons the vehicle that I’m currently using is an auto. The last time I drove a car with stick shift was about 3 years ago, and even then it was only for a few kilometres and I was completely out of practice. Sad, I know.

Here are some of the analogies that I can think of regarding driving an automatic:

  • Like watching Seinfeld with the volume turned off
  • Like eating without tasting
  • Like taking a shower with all your clothes on
  • Like a sensation-deadening drug
  • Like melted ice cream

    I’ve been eyeing the 2010 Chevy Camaro. Don’t know when I will be able to afford one. Some day.

    I’ll be back driving manual once I’ve own RX8 (or RX9, RX10, or whatever comes by then…)

    found your blog thru stainedhead.

    i agree, stick shift beats auto any day. driving an auto is like going to the beach on a cloudy day. it’s not so bad, sometimes you kinda welcome the break from the sun. but you leave with wanting and a lot of ‘it would have been’ this and that if the sun was in full full force :)

    good blog by the way.
