Thats cool that you both have 4gs, but very fucking stupid that youd do something like that on roads. You should of had your cars impounded and your license suspended. And on the HW the auto would have a better chance once you get higher up.

FuryMiloh · January 24th, 2009, 12:17 PM

^x.2

if you were in Cali, they'd laugh at your tears and throw you out of your own car and send it to the impound, take your license for 6 months, make you pay for your car being in the impound, and make you attend your cars funeral as it gets crushed at the junkyard, and you cant part the car out, the way your car came in is the way it meets the car gods. and if you hit it off a dig, the manual can redline you all the way up until you hit high speeds when the auto can pull on the manual

Ricoswave · January 24th, 2009, 12:28 PM

With any luck California will physically break off from the rest of the U.S. and float away. I'll leave it at that.

you broke 5 violations in new york state laws from what im reading

if you got pulled over from a ny state trooper they would have not even compromised with you plain and simple arrest right there.

Justin · January 24th, 2009, 01:08 PM

Dont let the flaming for street racing detour you from the site though, we have alot of good people and information here. Just take that shit to a track.

Pix of you and the ride now

liquidsilver · January 24th, 2009, 01:20 PM

Maybe your car weights more. The auto trans of course.
It has a different gear ratio.
Try doing it backwards

360jeepboy · January 24th, 2009, 01:43 PM

If your a good driver you should be able to launch out the hole faster then the manual. But other then that a stock manual has the advantage over the auto. Shorter gears means top speed will come quicker. Less power lost to the wheels means top speed will come quicker.

That is about all she wrote.

ryanastyG4 · January 24th, 2009, 01:48 PM

I hope cali does break off into an island
while im not on it of course, but i would love to bring san diego with me.
just leave all the ricer mexicans though.

FuryMiloh · January 24th, 2009, 02:01 PM

^ hey! hahaha jk but true, keep san diego somewhere safe...fuck everything else lol

Agreed and yes the Auto weighs more have you seen an Auto Trans or the inside of it

i don't understand why people buy auto's sometimes cause its cheaper to buy a manual and its better on gas.

1. I dont know how to drive a manual (learned on a auto as well but I want to learn how to drive a manual)
2. You dont have to keep shifting up/down in traffic (I know I know you can be behind a car so you dont have to but alot of people appearently dont know that).
3. Adds to a cars resale value
4. Alot of newer drivers learn on a automatic so its easier instead of having to learn auto + manual.
5. I think that the newer auto trannies have about the same MPG (or almost the same) as the manual but it really depends on how you drive it.

There was a post by a guy on here who said his knee started hurting because of the clutch in the 4g and how he thought he should have gotten an automatic (hey 5 speed auto-manual). I think that for most, daily drivers in the US should be automatic and then weekend cars or so should be manuals. I plan on learning a manual and getting a manual as my next car, I have a lot of fun driving in sport mode of the 4g and think that having a manual would be even funner (word?).

Jonrod · January 24th, 2009, 06:03 PM

manual for me has its ups and downs. as a daily driver, it blows in stop and go traffic. but when I engage in spirited driving in the twisties, it cant be beat.

HAHA NO · January 25th, 2009, 01:27 AM

i never drove a manual and didn't know much till i got my 4g...learned pretty fast

DarkSidEclipse · January 25th, 2009, 01:52 AM

Its easy people Auto = Lazy

Slippercream · January 25th, 2009, 03:18 AM

This car makes M/T shifting easy. If you can't learn on this car you really don't need to be driving.

Try driving stick on a truck. You don't know "hard" till you have to do that everyday.

Dyas · January 25th, 2009, 07:56 AM

haha amen to that ^ 1968 ford F100 was the first vehicle i drove manual wow... but i learned how to drive in a manual from day 1.once i drove an automatic and tried to use the clutch to slow down....it was the brake....hahaha yea...it didnt work out so well almost broke my jaw on the steering wheel

eclipsenikki21 · January 25th, 2009, 09:20 AM

trust me I know it was so dumb... and we learned our lesson, at least I know I did. I'm waiting until the track. and I didn't get manual cuz I had never driven it but now I drive my boyfriends manual 4g and I want it. sorry for upsetting some of you.

VI Top Shotta · January 25th, 2009, 10:35 AM

I wouldn't apologize for upsetting people....they were just stating their opinions their fashion....this forum is open for us to talk and put our views towards others out there, we do however try to keep this a forum with people that understand that racing is on tracks and in a safe and legal way....what you did happened, now just try to move on from there with the criticisms that have been sent your way and learn from it....we are not trying to make you feel terrible or anything like that....well all of us at least..just enjoy your car and continue posting on the forums.....

Im a ricer mexican that will race you haha.

liquidsilver · January 25th, 2009, 03:51 PM

I have an auto. I don't feel like banging gears. I just want to cruse with the top down.
Drove a 5 speeds for a few years. Drove a truck and plowed with a shift. (That sucks)
Every manual I drove I blew the shifting mechanism by power shifting. Now I just like to relax.
Most of all I'm not lazy.

JUZ10xD · January 25th, 2009, 07:25 PM

i got the experience of both, my integra is stick and my eclipse is auto. i mean if i wanted to go out with a clutch, then i take the teggy, otherwise i love driving the eclipse

Special_K · January 27th, 2009, 10:31 AM

Nice race story but it sucks that you got pulled over. Dont let it become a habbit.

1. I learned manual, never took drivers ed cause they would teach with autos which makes me cryand ive never driven a auto in my life

, plus its pretty easy to learn i think, if ur a smart person of course

2.shifting up and down keeps you alert and makes you pay attention to whats in front of you so you dont crash, plus in those situations i stay in first and go very slow and stay like 20 feet away from the car in front so i dont have to shift if i get exhausted?

the rest ur pretty much right and yea it depends on how u drive the manual but you can also just pop ur auto into N when ur stoppin at a light

manual > auto, no whatter what
