How many of you are whipped?
How many of you were forced to get automatic instead of manual because of your wife/girlfriend?
You're pathetic!

You can have my manual shift when you pry it from my cold, dead hand. 6 speeds and NO stick?! Torture! Its what puts the SPORT in sports sedan.

Not only did I get the stick for myself, she is taking over my previous car (hers died) and it is a stick too ! Of course that actually has no bearing on whether I'm whipped or not. (I am - but it's the good kind - after all, she let me get the bimmer )

I only drive automatic cars, stick is a pain in the ass. I like to relax when im driving and constantly shifting is not something I want to do. If thats makes me less "manly" well...i bet i can still kick all your arses.

I don't do manual anymore. I got over it. Although I'd get manual in a "dedicated" sports car.
