Post I couldn't help but comment on this one...

i dont hate on ppl who have automatic though...

just the losers who cant' drive stick...and just wanted a civic cuz they saw it on fast and furious
I know this is kinda old and from a long time ago, but I just spent the last couple hours reading this thread ( I'm on vacation so I had nothing better to do, its nice to get paid for sitting on your *** at home. ) and I could not help but comment on what this person said.

Okay, so check it out... I'm actually gay and I drive an 2002 Civic EX with a manual, and I wouldn't rest until I found it. I searched for months on the internet and stuff till I found one I liked. So its not like all gay people can't drive stick... I know quite a few.

But other then that, I don't think that I would ever get another automatic after driving a 92 Suburban and 93 Accord LX, I find stick is wayyy better. Well, until I get older of course.

And to the people that say driving stick in traffic, for a little back ground. I bought my car without ever driving stick before in my life. I knew how, but I had never even done it before. On the third or fourth day of owning my car I decided to go to my friend's house 25 miles away, and on the way back I got stuck in traffic on the highway, my leg has never hurt so much in my life. However, after a month I was fine and pain free in heavy traffic. So I just say suck it up, deal with the pain for awhile and it'll eventually go away.

There is one thing I kinda wonder about and was wondering if anyone would know, when I bought my car it had about 69,000 miles on it, and not ever driving stick before I didn't know how hard my clutch was until I test drove some newer cars, but I recently got a new clutch put on about a few days ago and its alot easier. Does the civic clutchs usually get harder to press down over time? Or is it just because it maybe was a clutch from 2002 or something?

I own both 2001 si auto, manual 92si, i love the 92 bubble, auto offers no performance bolt on options(2001 si-g) but for rush hours on the 401 I like it. So i guess that I am on the fence.

Autos are for gays, but you spell your name "boi." My irony-meter is in the red right about now.

Anyways, my Civic is an auto. Bought it while my wife was pregnant. It is boring as hell and I miss my 5-speed Prelude which I got rid of before I moved. Anyways i'll never buy another automatic. Although it is useful in Honolulu rush hour traffic.

theres nothing wrong with having an auto. a part of the population just doesnt want to have to deal with manual gear changing. everytime i step into a auto car i'm always looking for the clutch before i start it then i realize its an auto.
