re: Thinking about picking up this Jeep on Baton Rouge Craigslist

I mean... from a pure mechanical standpoint the manual trumps the automatic every time.

That’s a flat out fact.

Now, when you bring humans into it, certainly the automatic gains an edge because the HUMAN often fricks up.

But if you know what the frick you’re doing, and can properly control your vehicle, the standard always wins.

So, like I said. It’s essier in an automatic. Which is why they are so prevalent. But if you actually know what the frick you’re doing, the standard always wins

Again, the pros pretty much all use autos, so I would have to assume they know what they are doing.

Agree to disagree.

Automatic jeeps are for soccer moms and limp wristed boys who never learned how to drive stick

Exactly what I do. Driving a stick is FAR from hard.

It’s cool. Soccer mom jeeps were built for someone. And that someone is soccer moms.

Oh i'm not a jeep nerd either. I drive a truck. Like a man...

Because it’s easier? Is it not a hard concept to grasp?

You have less things to worry about and you don’t need to learn how it works. You just pop it in go.

I mean that’s a pretty simple concept... people gravitate towards the easier option 99.99% of the time.

No because it works better off road for the folks that are sponsored to do it.

Professionals use what works best, not whats the easiest

I am sure people that get paid to drive cars are quite familiar with how it works

That’s Sir douchebag.
