http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/cars/top...-stick_1p.html

the list in short:

10. A manual transmission is the ultimate in control
9. You can use automotive jargon and not sound like a total tool
8. You can't spell "manual" without "man"
7. Manual transmissions prove you can do more than one thing at a time
6. You can't drift in an auto
5. You can't pull fancy moves in an automatic
4. You get better fuel economy with a stick
3. You’ll never look like a chump if you can drive stick
2. Manual transmission cars are faster
1. Women like a guy who is good with his hands.

mostly true

meanmike · 09-18-2009, 07:55 PM

I can prove 5 & 6 wrong and #2 is arguable.

Real men don't need to drive a stick to be a REAL MAN. Men that drive a stick and think that makes them a real man have issues with their manhood. Go grow a pair already.

Autos are the future of racing... manual is OLD technology...

speedster · 09-19-2009, 09:36 AM

They are both fun. It's up to the driver to have a blast with whichever one they chose...

Automatics are boring.

I never could disgrace my camaro with an automatic.

That belongs in the daily driver.
