Do you drive a....
 
Stick or automatic?

I know I'm probly like the only person here that drives an automatic :rolleyes:

I dunno I just dont want to have to think too much when I'm driving. I like to smoke and do other things and not have to constantly be shifting, especially in traffic.

i have one too...

although i was looking for a 5speed, i settled for an auto...i drive it like its a stick though even though i shouldnt...at some point ill do a stall conv. and a shift kit...then itll be happy :)

Yay I'm not the only one http://www.bostonblueyes.com/smilies/hyper.gif

So what do you mean exactly you drive it like a stick? Starting out in 1st then drive? Beating it in 1? :p

I drive 2 automatics so dont fret.. I love em.. if you drive them right there just as much fun as a stick car. I mean drive them right as in shift it manually of course :D What fun is there in letting it do all the work??

5 Speed is the only way to go for me on my Mustang. I like the control, and shifting when I want. I really only drive the car on sunny weekend days anyways, all my work commuting and errans and daily grunt work is done with my 02 Ranger. The Stang is just a sunny day cruising car now, it doesn't see any parking lots or weather.:cool:

Well I guess someone needs to teach me how to have fun in my car. I usually baby her.. cuz I want her to last a long time.

Well, except when I see a ricer :mad: :p

It sounds to me like you already have fun with your car !:D

You really don't need it in a automatic. I had a friend who had a firebird, The car was an automatic, and he manualy shifted. It tore the gear box up. Its really not meant to be used like that, once in a while is fine.

Sicy Stang 04-28-2003 11:08 AM

Well that's what I thought. http://mysmilies.creativesell.net/co.../corkysm78.gif

I'd hardly call it a mustang with an Automatic ;)

This is just me, but I wouldn't even look at a Mustang with an auto, unless it is in a strip only car. Auto's take all the fun out of driving them. I love to drop to second at 45, chirp the tires and go on to bang third. Maybe it's just me, but I love shifting. I've been able to drive manual since I was 14 so basically I don't even think about shifting anymore. But to each their own, a Mustang with an Auto is still a Mustang, I just hate the parasitic energy they take:) ~Brian

Automatics can be just as every bit of a Mustang as a stick. Its all personal preference.:D

I don't recall ever seeing a Boss with an auto. It was an SCCA replica, so the auto would be useless....

NotchJohnson 04-28-2003 05:46 PM

My mistake. The Boss 429 is that one that had an optional auto, the Boss 302, like you said, was strictly a 4-speed car.

Fox Body 04-28-2003 06:06 PM

You should've put a #3 in the poll to be Both. :)

My street/strip 351W-powered '79 Mustang is an auto (C4).

My everyday street 302-powered 92 GT is a manual.
