New (and old) SupraMKV members say hello!

[jmikes]

No, it's probably just to highlight that they have a skill the vast majority of the population do not posses. A shaved monkey can drive an auto. Manual, not so much.

(If I didn't live in the traffic hell hole that is Tampa Bay I'd genuinely look at swapping to a MT though, tbf)

What about an unshaved monkey?

All jokes aside, I don't know anyone that can't drive a car with a clutch. It's just a car. If driving an "auto" is so easy, aaaaall those peeps are welcome to hit up a race track and post their times (unshaved monkey data):

but I guess no real point for anyone with "MT Skillz". Or shaved monkeys, for that matter.

I'm just taking the piss, but I stand by the fact that driving a manual is a genuine skill and one that fewer and fewer people posses. And just as an aside, a lot of people who claim they can drive a manual, really can't as they seem to go though clutches like handbags.

in the realm of things that require some skill to do, driving a car with manual transmission is by far the one that gets the biggest and most ridiculously inflated importance.

The epitome of first world problems (and this is one that really belongs to the US) is to think that driving a manual transmission makes you automatically gifted or smarter.

I was born and grew up outside of Murica in the 80s where there were no Automatic cars. I have a cousin. That guy is as dumb as a rock. HE WOULD DRIVE a damn 1981 Renault that had an H type of transmission up and down the Andean mountains, which by the way, are real mountains, not like the ones we have here. We all learned to do that when we were young kiddos.

Do you realize that outside of the US, chances are, people drive manual cars and don't think they are somehow special? It is just an issue of availability. Less people know how to drive manual transmission, just because those cars are not as common as the automatic ones. Switch the market and you would have everyone just doing fine driving their manual cars. It has nothing to do with any special miracle gift that you think you possess.

You think driving a manual transmission car is somehow a hard skill to master?, no wonder why we score so bad on all objective measures of educational achievement in this country.

I think you score low, because you often fail to realise not every single thing is actually bout America.

Welcoming myself back to my third Supra. Previously owned a Rennaisance Red Auto, CU Later Grey A91-MT Edition and now, another CU Later Grey A91-MT Edition. Had regrets for never tracking my previous Supras, so I wanted to experience it again and see where it goes.

By chance, is the owner of my last Supra on here? CA Plate was "A91MT".

I taught my kid in 10mins. Not the easiest car to learn in, either. Definitely not rocket science.

Joined last October! Made an account when it came out but couldn’t get over the zf fart and no manual. Found out mid last year they made them manual a few years back. So it was added to my cars I was looking to get as my retirement car, it beat them all for me. I love this car.

Howdy All,

I've finally officially joined the club and purchased a Supra. I've been thinking about it for quite some time. This is my first Supra, but I'm not new to the Yoda community. I was big into the Celica scene in the 2000's when the 7th gen's came out. I was the Owner/founder of "Team Celica" and ran that for about 6 years and had an extremely modified Celica. I also own a fully built out FJ Cruiser Overlander. I spent my first weekend working on a few mods and driving it around getting used to it. I'm absolutely in love with driving again. It's such a fun car, but OMG does everyone in the world want to race you.

I will see you in the threads!

Remember to use the forum search function before making any threads to ask about common things like "what oil should I use" or "what's the best route to my power goals".

Yes, everyone wants to race it. That tells us it’s going to be sought after car down the road.
