Automatic or Manual?
Okay so this is a funny story.
A few months ago I would have answered automatic.
I ordered a new BMW from my friends car wholsale business because I saved a ton on the price. I filled out the online quote form on BMW's website with all my options (sport package, sport wheels, bluetooth, navigation, all the toys. I completely overlooked the 6 speed manual transmission and assumed it was automatic.
I am a guy who learned on auto and NEVER drove a stick. I stalled every time I even tried to drive a friends stick shift in the parking lot.
So they deliver the car to my house and I look inside to see a 6 speed manual shift. I waited a long time for this customn ordered car and I would have felt like shit asking them to take it back even though I couldn't drive a stick, to be honest I was intimidated by it.
I thought: "What better car than a BMW to learn manual?"
Now (4 months later) I am a converted manual guy. From now on every car I have to drive will be a stick shift. This sounds silly but I feel like I am one with my car like never before.
Which do you prefer?
