i'll be the first to say that i like automatic. i don't race, i just lay back and cruise. its hard to get used to going from manual to auto but you get used to it. automatic is grown man shit.

oh it only happened once hahaha NO one gets to drive my car, and believe me, I would have been happier sitting in my car for 3 hours until i got sober rather than letting anyone else drive it

automatic blows monkey dicks....i hate it. Maybe Im biased cuz i've never driven anything but standard ever since i can remember. Even if you have to drive auto at least know how to drive stick...it can come in handy

it definitely isnt the same. i dont think i could buy an automatic unless it was way in the future n my wife couldnt drive stick and it was a car we would share. Even then i would still have to have my own manual car.

man all i got was motrin, SUCKS!!

I just hate 1st of all, not driving my car, and 2nd of all not being in full control of the car im driving. Automatics make these funny sounds when there trying to find the right gear, i feel like a ricer because the engines like waaaaaa, and im not going anywhere for about a full second..

bones are very very strong. Take a look at bruce lee's build. He was able to do things with his body at 134 pounds with tiny ankles and legs, ....they never broke even though he exerted thousands of ft pounds of force on them. You need to get more calcium in your system and start turning some of that fat into mucsle and micro mucsle. Simply jumping in the air and landing ..even the wrong way ...shouldnt break bones.....at least not on your own force. Bones are stronger than conrcete and the leg bones...some of the strongest...shouldnt splinter ( fracture ) or break. Start training your body and get down to a nice weight. You'll notice increased stamina...faster movement and your tendons will react faster and with more accuracy.
