Too Much Info

So my friend Chris asked me if I saw a recent post about the new Nissan Skline GT-R on the web. To make a long story short, the post said the all-wheel-drive japanese hyper-sports car was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I emailed my friend back and said “thanks, but not thanks” because I’m not interested in “sports cars” that only come with automatic transmissions, even if they do have paddle shifters.

Automatics are for old weminz and lazy drivers. If I’m buying a car, it BETTER have a manual shifter  in it, because I like to DRIVE my cars not RIDE in them.

And anyone who buys an “automatic” sports car is even lazier. Sports cars are for stomping on the gas pedal and squeeling around corners, not driving Miss Daisy.

I blame the automatic sports car phenomenon on the Chevy Corvette; America’s only true sports car. They’ve had automatics forever, because Americans are lazy and like to look cool, even if they’re not. Don’t believe me? Just go to any Barnes & Noble any Saturday night and look at all the posers in there with their widescreen laptops.

So what have we learned here today, kiddies? “Automatics suck! Especially in sports cars.”

And don’t let me catch you drag racing your broken-down, 13-year-old Honda Civic, with rusted out fenders, down main street with an automatic transmission either. Because I’ll just point at you and laugh, and probably blog about you, as well. Posers.
