Outdated information. The difference between modern automatic transmissions and manuals in both fuel efficiency and cost is minimal. You have to go back about 5 years for the difference to be substantial.

With that, I must leave for work.

I see. Many people buy used cars however, so they will be purchasing a car that is potentially 5+ years old.

Yes because the machine is going to get it right every time. That's what it's designed to do.

No. Not all automatic cars are equipped with a kickdown. If I want to overtake someone while driving, say, 90 km/h, I don't stay in the 5th gear like the automatic forces me to. I switch down to #4 and push the gas to the floor. Much more torque from the engine, better acceleration, quicker overtake. Also if I want to save gas I'll kick a gear up and go with a low engine speed.

Also it is much, much, much more fun than just standing on the gas.

But the rules of English say that if you pluralize a noun that ends with a vowel and then single consonant, you make the consonant double.

Languages - there are no rules

only exceptions

Holy shit.

You are now unofficially the dopest of the thread.

LOL. Wow you did that fast! I will use this for a day.

If you're constantly failing the exam, you're not really paying attention. Like half my driver's ed class. Holy shit they were all terrible at listening. Most of them failed.

So you agree with me that you first should pass a driving exam before getting a license.

Since when do languages stand to their rules? ^^

Exactly. Fucking language. English is the worst.

You clearly know more than me. I won't bother with manual transmission ever, though, because it's getting phased out for automatic.

I thought I had a pretty high dope rating. =c

That's the only way to get a license here. In fact, they're starting to make it so that you have to take a driver's ed course to become eligible to get a license.

I was only disagreeing with the thought that actually driving a vehicle is hard.

Take me pls.

I'll send you a helicopter.

That "eei" combination looks weird.
Why am I looking at words so much?

It depends on the situation, and not everyone is good at it. It should be taken seriously and responsibly, not "easy" or "fun".

And from what I've heard from "English as a second language" people, English is the worst offender of it.

Yes. Screw Joe Flacco.

English is my first language and I think it's the worst offender of it.

You never told me any tales of dangerous behavior.

Um one time I drove without a seatbelt because I forgot to put it on. And uh, I jumped out of a really high tree once, but there was water below. I don't think Lycoris can top any of that badassery!

I Alt-F4'd out of Diablo 3 once accidentally. Alt is the button to make items show up, and I think I was trying hit one of my abilities (1-4) at the same time, and it was probably dark and I was trying to do it without looking at the keys (and I didn't have my hand set where it usually is)

In Germany you pretty exclusively take your driving licence on a car with manual transmission, so 99% of all drivers know how to operate them. If you take your exam on an automatic you're not allowed to drive a manual; if you take it on a manual you can drive both though.
