You have 4 links and not one of them is to information. The signal to noise ratio of the shit I've read from your links is absolutely abysmal, nobody with a working brain would put time into reading such drivel, let alone attempt to use it in place of information sources. If basic income actually failed, you could give at least some semblance of a concise explanation of the failure, or at least have one of your four links lead to something data-focused, instead of being like "here's an opinion, now immerse yourself in verbose repititions of that opinion for a half hour since hopefully that's enough to make you agree with it." You are a prime brainwashee and the reason Trump will win again.
When I was looking to buy my current car back in late 2017, a Mazda MX-5 ND, my father and my friends kept pestering me to get it with an automatic transmission instead of manual. Best decision I made was buying it manual, it's so much more responsive and fun to drive. I'm not making the jump to automatics any time soon that's for sure.
You made the correct choice. I currently have an auto NC as my daily driver, but my next Miata will be a manual. It's not terrible, but the lag between clicking the paddle and the car actually downshifting can be fairly annoying.
Manuals are cool and I find I'm more engaged behind the wheel. That said, I cant wait to switch back to automatic. My city has a ton of traffic and it's so fucking annoying to constantly be shifting in and out of first.
It's much better to put stress on your driveline than just pulling the p brake, that way your car won't last 200,000 miles and you can get a new one faster when you inevitably ruin your transmission
Even if that were true, and its not, replacing a rotor on your average car isn't exactly the end of the world. I'd do a dozen brake jobs over having to drop a tranny
That used to be true, as long as the driver drove it economically, but not so much anymore. Somewhere in the last 5-7-10 years, many new vehicles have 8 and 10 spd autos that with computer control are more economical than a manual.
The more gears allow for keeping the engine in optimal rpm range across the driving cycle, and the computer controls help.
I drive a manual myself, and enjoy the experience more, but newer autos with more gear ratios have changed that old paradigm.
An automatic (or, you know regular car) has a pin that is engaged which prevents any vehicle movement. You most certainly do not have to engage the emergency break on an automatic even if parking on a hill.
I know, that's why I said its unneccessary in an automatic. Sometimes, especially on very steep hills, that pin can fail. I lived in the bay for a few years and I got in to the habit of using the e brake on hills
I hope you meant only in an automatic, because I would never step out of a manual car without the parking brake engaged. Might discover the hard way that "flat" surface isn't quite so flat.
I live in a flatland paradise and never use my e-brake. In most cars I've ever driven or been in it barely or doesn't even work after several years of non-use.
When I'm going to start driving, sure sometimes or like I said just clutch in and start. So that when I'm not in the car it doesn't move? It's not rocket science.
That only makes sense if you backed into a parking spot. It's literally the same amount of steps otherwise. I just find it easier to leave it in neutral with the P-brake engaged while I plug my phone in, organize my car, etc. Then put it into the gear I need.

Well, you probably should
Definitely if you’re on any sort of an incline
1 Kaiser-romulus 2019-08-03
It’s not a bad habit it have, incline or not.
1 BernieMadeoffSanders 2019-08-03
Actually it can damage the rotors, or even cause indentations.
PARK includes a pin that prevents any movement of the car, it is more than sufficient for any vehicle.
Manuals are of course different, but only retards drive manuals.
1 FoidBlaster 2019-08-03
😡
I'm unironically fuming rn
1 Kaiser-romulus 2019-08-03
I wish I had gotten my car in a manual. I’m tired of the automatic, unironically.

1 FoidBlaster 2019-08-03
Thanks man, good luck with the next buy.
1 VanillaReign 2019-08-03
Did you get the ragtop or the RF? I'm still undecided. I like my PRHT for the winters here, but I'm not keen on how the RF looks with it folded down.
1 FoidBlaster 2019-08-03
Hardtop. I did think think about getting the soft top version but I really liked the RF look.
1 nybbas 2019-08-03
I can't imagine buying a miata then buying it in fucking automatic. You made the right choice.

the C O P E in this thread is unreal
1 Karmawasntforsuckers 2019-08-03
Automatics have better fuel efficiency than manuals now. The only reason to drive a manual is because you're a boomer who's dick don't work no more.
1 Kaiser-romulus 2019-08-03
This isn’t true at all.

1 Kaiser-romulus 2019-08-03
Plus parking pawls do break. On flat ground not as big of a deal but on a Hill not good.
1 NathansFamousDogpill 2019-08-03
Even if that were true, and its not, replacing a rotor on your average car isn't exactly the end of the world. I'd do a dozen brake jobs over having to drop a tranny

Come on we all know you love this
1 Barkasia 2019-08-03
Dont bring the mods into this
1 Happypumkin 2019-08-03
Yeah and you'd probably could just refinish it if it was at all warped somehow by the brake
1 ManBearFridge 2019-08-03
You got it backwards. Manuals give you better control and saves gas. Retards that need a free hand to use their phones pick automatics.

1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-08-03
changing down for corners and hills instead of mashing brakes like a retard is a game changer

You can downshift on automatics too. Most people don't unfortunately

Derr manual fun, I like do more work when drive, so fun, duh stupid automatic with both hands on wheel lol

imagine opting to drive cars that automates the Fast and Furious part of driving.

1 cakeisgreat 2019-08-03
Those aren’t mutually exclusive
1 seenten 2019-08-03
You might be for unrelated reasons, but anyone who doesn't use a safety feature that takes 0.5 seconds to engage is a bigger retard.

He isn’t wrong. I am lazy and don’t normally do it but it’s not a bad practice.

I think Its unneccary on flat surfaces especially in an automatic

Parking pawls break not too often so it’s a good habit. Hill or not.

1 charming_tatum 2019-08-03
10 years ago I spent about 3 months driving a car to and from work with only an e brake
1 somegurk 2019-08-03
On a manual just leave it in gear, shit won't move don't even need a handbrake.
1 Ragingbull93 2019-08-03
What kind of weirdo just leaves it in first when they park.
1 somegurk 2019-08-03
Someone who doesn't want their car to move? It's standard practice where I live, stop, into first, handbrake on.
1 Ragingbull93 2019-08-03
If you put the handbrake on anyways, why not just shift into neutral?
1 somegurk 2019-08-03
Why would you bother. Also I've driven a lot of shit boxes, I trust leaving it in gear more than the handbrake.
1 Ragingbull93 2019-08-03
Why? Seems like you're just risking a stallout for no real reason.
1 somegurk 2019-08-03
Do you mean when you start? Honestly never happened, it's second nature to clutch it or put it into neutral when starting.
1 Ragingbull93 2019-08-03
So you put it into neutral anyways? It just seems weird to me. Why not just put into neutral when you park? I just don't get the benefit.
1 somegurk 2019-08-03
When I'm going to start driving, sure sometimes or like I said just clutch in and start. So that when I'm not in the car it doesn't move? It's not rocket science.

Huh, that guy talks about the most inane shit. It's great.
1 GuillotinesNOW 2019-08-03
I can't agree with or make fun of this take until I find out about the car Star Trek Man was driving.
With an automatic, I never use the e brake unless I'm on a hill. With a manual, I use it every single time I get out of the car.
1 OceanGeese 2019-08-03
Retard is correct.

Da fuck is an ebrake? U burgers talking about the handbrake? It's not normal to use that? The fuck.
