Also? You don't have to deal with friends who constantly want to borrow your ride.

Once they know you drive stick, they stop asking.

Want to make "friends" quickly? Buy a truck.

You may well find, like I did, that your Kryptonite is gorgeous equestrian women, who are half your age

I obvious have a lack of training in the area and am thus biased, but is there any point in the US anymore for manual transmissions?

EDIT: not this thread: oh more fuel for your fire okay then

uh .... um .....

Okay. The long answer is, well, no. Not in the sense that you need a lot of things. I mean, is there really any point to having sails on boats anymore?

That said ... if you like to drive, I mean ... really like to drive, then there is no substitute. In terms of pure fun, they can't be beat. There are other collateral benefits that are small, such as cost to repair and weight, but generally a modern good automatic transmission will give you every thing in terms of performance and fuel efficiency that a manual will. And, of course, electric cars aren't really suited to manuals.

But if you like the feel of driving and being in control of of the vehicle, being "one with the car," then there is nothing like a stick. Also? Much better and easier when drifting, if you're into that.

How does it interplay with driving while eating? [Edit: Say for someone with a Dex of 9]

I lived on drive-thru through my 20s (don't try this at home) and drove a stick throughout that period. It's fine.

Why would you reward bad service?

Because it's almost never due to the person you would be tipping, but due to larger issues that they're suffering from even more than you are.

I lived in LA and would hit pollo loco right by the hollywood on ramp, and then the 10 eat before getting back to my apt by usc, my truck had a three on the tree. Never get the big soda though. lol
