You know what Mr Purefella?
It appears you construct your sentences in Yoruba before translating to English!
Please don't respond or post in English anymore if you cannot avoid errors by using simple words.
This grammatical assault coupled with your use of profanities is becoming irritating.

Just stop,

you went too far by using the word "Cursed" to me it doesn't make sense at all and FYI a very good driver will always prefer Manual Transmission engines over Auto any day any time! Have u ever seen a race car or fast car with Auto trans

Purefella, how're you doing? wink

Nothing wrong with your choice of auto over manual, quite a lot wrong with your choice of words in your opening post though. Cursed? undecided

As per transmission type - I prefer manual, not because I'm "cursed", but because I'm an enthusiastic driver. And no, I don't feel any pain driving a manual. If one feels aches and pains, or feel they're punishing themselves by driving a manual, just haven't mastered the art of driving, it's that simple.

It's late, so will post more on the subject tomorrow. Though if you'd cared to use the "search" function, you'd discover this issue's been flogged to death, there are quite a few threads regarding manual versus auto, some as far back as 2006.

Goodnight all!

The OP is a Yoruba, and in the mind, anyone doing things the definitely hard way must could have been "negatively inspired" by someone else.

For those driving manual in other states in Naija, or other countries; driving manual in Lagos rush hour is not a blessing you'll wish for your friend everyday(especially now that auto is an option)

There has been several posts on manual vs auto, but for someone driving auto for a while, going through the pain of driving manual again in Lagos type traffic raises a different question; why manual?.

We all know that in Naija, prior to auto, a lot of car owners hire drivers then spread out in the back corner.Too much work shifting gears.

The roads you drive on dictates the transmission/car users will prefer a 5-spd Corvette, or V-8 Jeep does not make much sense in Lagos because its main attribute is defeated by driving conditions, but an auto civic/corolla, 4-cyl Frontier works better.

applause for you but the bold part is zero, don't bring in tribe issues ,i am not Yoruba .I was born in the UK but raised here in Lagos Nigeria

and you mentioned the road you drive on dictates the transmission .,I want you to correct me if am wrong an auto vehicle will do well on all roads but manual vehicles might not be too good on some roads??

From what i have discovered i think it's only those that understand much about vehicles would prefer manual to auto , why others thinks auto is no much fun to drive because its too easy to control

I have been driving since 1988 and I have always driven manual cars. Maybe its because that is what I learnt with but I find them easy to drive. When I change my car, I always buy manual ones. On the contrary, all my husband's cars are automatic. I don't drive them because I can't seem to get the hang of not having the clutch there. I guess its a matter of choice and what you are used to. I am definitely team manual all the way. Love them and wouldn't go any other way. grin

And you still don't have a clue on how to properly speak or construct lines of grammar?

Ignorant Troll is, and will continue to be ignorant.

A shame i actually fed this troll.
