Both hands on the wheel?!


Good evening people, I return again to divulge more of my problems with modern day society and those that live within its walls.

Lets start with the common everyday motor vehicle, what the fuck is with all these automatics?
Why do we need to be any lazier? Is drive thru fast food not enough?
I'm fully aware that I'm totally in the minority here (a place i often find myself in) but can someone please explain what is so hard about changing gears? why do we need automatics? what is so difficult about an extra pedal?
There's bound to be a very reasonable explanation, is it better for the car, perhaps the driver, maybe even the world around us. But i sincerely believe the reason why is to let more monkeys out there pass their tests. Thus creating more cars out there thus the demand for gas rises. There are so many retards allowed to drive on theses 5 car wide highways it constantly surprises me that there isn't a traffic jam from here to timbuktu! All an automatic is is a point and steer real life video game!!! there's no need for a brain in this mode, no need to think about what you are doing. Just point the car in the right direction and put your foot on the gas. Who cares about anything else!

Maybe car manufacturers decided that the modern day motorist would adhere to the law and have both hands on the wheel at all times if they didn't need to change gears? a fact they drastically got wrong, now instead i see degenerates using their free hand for all kinds of novel things: texting, changing playlists on ipods, doing their make-up, picking their brains out through their noses or seeing as we're living in california blowing their brains out with nuclear strength marijuana! (marijuana is going to be left to another rant if josh doesn't get to it first)

I enjoy driving, i find great satisfaction in changing gears, there's nothing better than hitting that sweet spot of a gear change, knowing that the late great Ayrton Senna could have done no better. there's something all powerful about a manual car, your not just driving it, your mastering it, your apart of its very essence. all this is lost on you automatic morons who shoot out all over the joint like you own it, without a care in the world because your too busy shouting "holla" waving said free arm around to the last gangsta rap verse on your ipods playlist.

There's so much more grace and passion in nimble, precise, energetic bursts of speed that come from shifting gears. So much more thought and attention in the driving of your vehicle.
This maybe a loosing battle and i maybe the only person who gives a fuck, but to hell with the automatic and to hell with the imbecile drivers out there on the freeway right now cutting across the lanes like a bat out of hell.
