learned when I was 8 on my uncles Nissan pickup. I was able to drive smoothly down roads within an hour. Been driving/racing manual trannies since then.

Falls under the category of "racing" Perfectly acceptable for those scenarios

fair enough

You're 26 and you didn't know Nissan used to be Datsun?? :O haha.And I know the horde of zombies is a joke.... or is it? But I have a auto, and like most cars, I can still control 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.... I mean, it shifts when I hit red, but I can keep it in whatever gear I want the entire RPM range. TBH, I have been in a couple car chases and had no problem with it. I'm not gonna deny that a manual would be much better in the situation, but the auto didn't get me killed either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

nah man i never liked either make enough to look in further to it. its actually better on manual ******. what if you stammer switching gears and u accidentally put it on neutral or park. seconds in dire situations make a difference

Well that's what I was saying, it's certainly better with a stick, but still do-able in an auto. And while you might be able to make the mistake of switching it into neautral, if you go past drive for whatever reason.... Putting it in park is usually impossible without braking/pressing the gear selector, and being below a certain speed.
