automatic gearbox, hate them, love them, but mostly the former. Auto gearboxes on cars, probably the next most important object in a car to the engine, something most drivers cannot do without. well if it was half decent i would probably had jumped on that bandwagon too, but no, they just have to be the suckiest pile of bat shit, ever. now, most of you folks out there are probably lamenting about the convenience, but thats where it ends, convenience, and quite minimal unless you you happen to have the right hand side of your body paralysed.

What auto gearboxes provide, is simply overunned by bugs and INCONVENIENCE in that matter, whats a car when theres no control i ask? honest though, not coming from the racing car buff side of me, just another road user. i really suspect auto gearboxes to have only 3 modes, GO - GO SIBEI FAST - STOP SIBEI SLOW, moving off from a traffic light for instance, ok u see the car in front crawl off, u blip the accelerator, FOOM! off it goes like a darn rocket. and u have to brake the hair out of your neck to prevent rear-ending that chap in front.

before u go into lack of skills, let me continue.

Ok so fine, same scenario, cars in front moves off at a crawl, u decide not to gas it, instead you just let go of ur brakes and let the car inch foward, wow everything is smooth and gentle! credits to auto boxes? fuck no.

the fella in front drives a manual, he picks up speed like a car should do and speeds off while your auto is still stuck at 1.5k rpm and moving at 20kmph though you've got the pedal to the metal. whats this? turbo lag? piff....

there are so 101 things i can rant about an auto box, but heck, till i get my own car WHICH WOULD BE MANUAL. im stuck. do not agitate the angry young man in his AUTO nissan sunny which has got its P plate mounted wrongly.
