And what's with this keyless ignition bullshit? How am I supposed to leave my car running with the doors locked when the damn FOB needs to be inside the car?

I've been driving 25 years now. I've owned an automatic once. And it was a 1988 jeep commanche that I bought for very cheap in 2017 and drove it for about two years.
I've driven plenty of automatics. Family members, wife, work, rentals, they all have auto. And it's just so fucking boring.

Well, jokes on you because Range Rover do not refer to the middle picture as a "gear stick". Probably because there is nothing stick like about it.
Automatic is objectively better. But I still meme about manual being better lol
Engine repairs are way more expensive. Higher chance of experiencing a cascade failure, too!
Better for literally everything else tho.
All it took for me was a single drive home during Thanksgiving traffic; a trip that normally takes 10min took an hour, I swore off manual transmissions that day.
How?

I agree but.. As a shift week commuter I must say I much prefer the automatic in terms of both convenience and comfort. I drive long stretches at a time and having to constantly switch gears manually quickly turns into an annoyance. Also eating food or doing something else with your right hand is so much easier when you have an auto.
But if I once were to buy a leisure car it would be manual without a doubt.
