Auto or Manual?

[retroracer]

Im using Three on the Tree, some old timers remember that im sure.

Yea I tried using that,was speed shifting into second gear and my hand slid of the stick,busted my windshield, cut the shit outta my hand and got a face full of glass.Not to mention half the time the thing stayed hung up between first and second gear,have to get out go under the hood and unbind those 10 feet of linkages,truelly not designed for racing.

LMFAO @ retro

[BlackKnight]

yeah a tree speed never was relieable in a race always jamed up when you needed it most lmao

[BlackKnight]

Ok, was wondering. Does everyone here use auto or manual? Or both depending on the track.

automatics are for girls,real men have been tought how to use a stick shift even befor cars came around...( think about it!! )

[efgordon]

i use auto on the road courses and manual everywhere else. so both does make sense to me

[d3efan]

Only a douchebag would use an automatic. :lol: Thought I'd bring it back around to the word: douchebag.

Funny word: douchebag.


Is that French?

[DusterLag]

No its a female product & a us slang word

I like both types of country. Country and Western.

I like to use Manual so I can get into higer rpms before shifting, but sometime's auto is nice on a road course when you get tierd of shifting :lol: but it's what ever works for the person, I use manual 95% of the time

[dalejrfan2688]

I always use manual

[DusterLag]

err

I use automatic shifting all the time, every race in fact, and never once have I NOT been able to compete against guys that shift manually. The only difference is I have to work harder on my gearing to compensate at times. Sometimes you do lose valuable time in the pits to the manual drivers, but you just have to make it up on the track instead. By saying that automatic shifting is for douchebags and girls, some people are better off biting their tongues and shutting up cuz I'll compete against anyone anytime at any track and still manage to kick some ass doing it!!! I can still make a car go just as fast shifting automatically as anyone else can shifting manually.

Don't take things so personally. D3 just likes saying the word douchebag. If it makes him giggle, who are we to rain on his parade. It is a funny word. Douchebag! :lol:

[Petty43]

Get your image working Grove. Douchebag!

[groverhardt]

I tried to change it temporarily and can't figure out how to get it back on LOL!!! :badgrin:

You need to put the entire link to the pic in between the brackets. Mouse over the "img" above for the example

Thanks Grove, yes, that's really all I was doing was getting back to the funny stuff one night. As long as you brought it up though...to "compete" may mean just getting into the fray but to be "competitive" means you have something for the rest of the field. Which, of course, you do not. (not makin alot of friends around here am i?) I dont care if you use a broomhandle attached to a dildo to shift with, or an automatic, I welcome any competition.

[groverhardt]

How about a douchebag attached to a broom handle?

[Reef]

Dildo attached to a broom handle?! :boggle: :boggle: What kind of stuff actually goes on down there in Alabama anyways? On second thought, I don't wanna know.
