I know several peeps that have been screwed by tesla over their roof solar.
If you thought the Integra Type R was nutty, I have a beer you can hold for me.

At times Tesla reminds me of mountain bike companies in the 90s with too many claims of superior attributes, spotty quality and promises of two more week and you frame is ready. I would never buy anything first production year from that organization or before they have ironed out problems through the fanboy "beta testers". I can see though it's easy to be caught up in the hype machine.

I have an original, minty, always garaged ’07 Fit with 22k kms. Is that something?
Would consider trading for a well sorted 84-89 Carrera coupe.
Someone's comment to a 50k sale for a Honda Civic.
To be fair Tesla's style of auto pilot would probably work totally fine in an Indian city.
To be fair, I fucking hate driving around Southie as well.
I’ve been for a drive in that. I know the guy(s) who built it.
Oh and I saw a Zero SR emotor bike in Petone yesterday.... rider gave the throttle a tickle and WOW can that thing accelerate!
That is almost certainly one of those guys…
This one almost makes sense, but I would drive the wheels off it

The Mark 4 Supra Turbo with 6 speed is the Grail car of Grail cars. I know the F&F Supra with an automatic is more your speed, but some of use can use a clutch.
i had to find a manual jeep thank you, and who are you to tell me how to drive "Mr. Upside down corvette driver"
I'm curious, what's the monkeys Auto/manual ratio in cars owned?
I've had 11 Manual gearbox cars to 4 Auto's.
I've had 11 Manual gearbox cars to 4 Auto's.
2 autos, too many manuals to count, actually converted one of those autos to manual.
Mines close to 16/8 manual to auto. All of my full sized 4x4 trucks, 1 Toyota truck, 1 Corvette auto, everything else manual.
2 out 2 manual
Does a th400 with ratcheting manual shift gate kit count as a manual? I say yes if you had to daily one.
my K5 was the culprit

2 Otters, 6 Manatees. All the Automatics were before 1996.

As an adult - 6 manual, 3 auto. All 3 automatics are the 3 most recently-purchased vehicles (2004, 2014, 2020).
Sooner or later some methed up redneck is bound to give it a try.
Have not owned an auto car.
I'd like to keep that alive, but I suspect the next car will be an auto, otherwise I'll just be digging myself into a hole when it'd come time to get rid of it.
Unless I win the lottery and buy a manual Porsche or Cadillac CT4.
4 manual and 5 auto. I still own 2 of the manual trans units. Although they are driven quite sparingly.
4 autos/1 manual
Given that automotive trends are shifting to autos, I doubt I'll have another stick. At least I know how to drive one though if we ever find ourselves in Germany again, searching for that single automatic that the rental agency promised us.

Yeah - knowing how to drive a manual is a really good skill, if only for the Euro travel. Although as electric vehicles become ubiquitous, I guess even Euro rentals won't be manual...
Automatics are becoming more ubiquitous in Europe. Currently my flavor of VW golf is only offered with a manual transmission in the united states.
My gladiator will have the auto, simply doesnt compare to the manual option. The new 8 speed auto is more apt for the differential gearing I will be running where the manual falls out on gearing range.
Having only driven manuals for the first 15 years of my driving, I do not miss having a manual transmission in my daily.
I have always driven sticks on the trails so it will take some getting used to for me, my left foot wont know what to do. Will def enjoy it in town. More drive throughs I guess
