  7. Anyone interested in an immaculate 2014 BMW 335i w/manual transmission, M-Sport, other goodies, un-molested engine (tuner bros can fuck right off, it's plenty fast), w/only 40,600 miles, LMK before it goes up on Cars and Bids. Looking to get low-mid $20,000s.

    “But Salty, why are you selling this gorgeous car?” Because I am now a teleworker who travels about 80% of the time, I just don't drive it much anymore and I have a beater X5 I leave at the airport outside. Love it, but time to let someone else enjoy this fine ride.

  12. Guess I'm now a member of the manual car transmission club. :3

    My wife and I bought a used 2011 Ford Ranger XLT last night and I had to drive it home since my wife was too skittish with the transmission. It was a "trial by fire" for me since I'd never driven stick before, but we got home without any incidents aside from a small number of stalls.

    It's kind of wild that even a "normal" car with stick feels better to drive than an automatic one. You don't need a sports car! Compared to automatic, the throttle feels much more "connected" to the wheels. The salesperson (who mainly drives stick) said it was the lack of the "torque converter bounce".

    Just like when I learned to ride a motorcycle, there was a learning curve, but the rewards are so gratifying! :D Honestly, after getting the muscle memory from driving home, the only thing that really jumps out to me as being different is the behavior of the synchronizers.

    For those who don't know, motorcycles most often use a sequential non-synchronous transmission, but some companies have automatic offerings now. Oh, and the vast majority of motorscooters use a CVT.

  16. #bmw #clutch #stickshift #zombieapocalypse #Millennials so today, my millennial partner was watching one of his Zombie flicks. The couple trying to escape the zombies found a car with keys and gas. Suddenly the guy in the driver seat realized the car was a stick with a clutch. He and his girlfriend had to do this complicated maneuver where they traded places. I’ve tried telling my partner, numerous times, that he needs to learn how to drive my 2004 BMW 330Ci for exactly that reason. What if a) I’m dead or already a zombie, b) the only car that runs and has gas on the 405 is a 1947 Plymouth, and c) you still don’t know how to work a clutch? Learn how to drive a car with a clutch, please. It could save your life. I don’t care how antiquated you think it is.

  19. a study commissioned by Cadillac revealed that 66% of American adults knew how to drive a manual transmission. This finding came ahead of the launch of the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing sport sedans, which featured a six-speed manual as standard. Interestingly, the study also showed that 55% of respondents had owned or leased a manual transmission car at least once, and 40% of those who couldn't drive stick expressed interest in learning.

    They kept the street open for busses and about every 40 mins, filming was paused and equipment was rolled to the side of the street.
    I'm glad for all the young local actors that has something to put on their resume.

  27. I don’t want a crossover, nor pickup, nor SUV, but clearly I’m in what I’d call a niche market of small cars. On top of that, I only want #StickShift cars, and the total number of models of #ManualTransmission cars sold in the US can be counted on two hands. Given their sales, the fact that *any* are available in the US is kind of incredible.
