Re: A Survey about snow and cars. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 04/01/2010 11:18:28 PM
1: Do you have snow? How much?

In Boston, yes. A few feet. Not in Baton Rouge.

2: Do you drive an automatic or a standard?

I drive a standard, but not in Boston, where I walk.

3: Why do you choose to drive your above answer?

Well, I don't have a lot of choice in the matter. But I prefer standard because it allows me to pull off a lot that I couldn't do in a standard. In an automatic, you have to trust the car. I prefer to trust myself.

4: Where do you live?

Boston for college. Baton Rouge for the rest of my life.

Or people who like to actually be in control of their cars. Automatics are sloppy. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 11:13:17 PM 517 Views

Acceleration is useless in automatics. I don't know why people even try to argue this. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 06:11:00 AM 490 Views
I don't understand why its useless in automatics. I accelerate just fine. callandor1000 - 05/01/2010 06:31:33 AM 625 Views
As I said before, its a question of preferring control, not of "needing" it. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 08:10:15 AM 484 Views
