Although I suppose someone's going to say he could've steered with his knees and shifted with his left hand.

He could have just shifted with her hand on top of his anyway... but yeah if you aren't racing an automatic seems like the way to go these days.

Yes, but I don't think his hand stayed on the gearshift though...

... unless this turned out to be an outtake from The Crying Game.

Pretty funny video, but seriously ... automatics aren't cool. We all agree on this, right?

"Driving a stick is driving; driving an auto is just steering."

"Driving a stick is driving; driving an auto is just steering."


and getting from point A to Point B is really all that matters. Anything else is just getting off by jerking a tranny's stick.

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!

@sometimes - I hope you drive a Yugo ... with no windshield wipers. And a lawnmower engine. Getting from point A to B is all that matters, right?

P.S. Good one, re: the "tranny's stick"

lol great ad. I realize I watch more ads on VS than on TV, since I almost don't watch TV.

Same here - if there's an amusing ad, the viral channel is the only place where I can find it!

or the collective

... true. For newer sifts, anyway.

I grew up driving automatics but I buy myself six-speeds now. It has made be a safer and more conscious driver, while making driving so much more enjoyable. I feel much more engaged with my driving and suffer way fewer lapses of attention. Right now I drive a 2009 Mazda 3, probably will go for the RX-8 next unless I can affort a Tessla Roadster in 3 years.

I'll go back to automatics if I ever have kids, so that I can have my shifting hand free to cuff them in the head. Little punks!
