          @yodelerty Not all automatics are bad however. I really have grown to love the auto in the Celica.

            @hawloween I honestly thought the only point of a stick shift was for racing or trying to look cool

              @yodelerty Well, it has become that I think for Yanks. Outside of that however, it's just the norm. I like standards because I was at one point used to them, but give me a responsive automatic I can manipulate and it's fine.

                  @yodelerty Actually I've grown to like autos more because they're more complicated when you dig into them, and I like complicated machinery.

                    @hawloween Yeah, I figured you'd like that sort of thing, if I know you.

                      @yodelerty Constant Variable Transmissions are even better, plus driving them is so weird.

                          @yodelerty http://rainbowdash.net/url/796877 it's a relatively new thing in automobiles, instead of having gear selections you have pulleys that expand or contract to give you variable speed.

                              @yodelerty Complicated, so yes. It's supposed to be more efficient with engine power, which in turn makes better use of the fuel it burns.

                                      @spookthos Yes, also snowmobiles have had them forever, and I think smaller construction equipment such as a Bobcat.

                                        @hawloween Makes sense, as those vehicles have a bigger need for gear shifting than flat road cars.

                                          @spookthos It's funny to think of printing machines using something like that, makes sense when one thinks about their operation in one's head.

      @yodelerty Why would normal people drive a stick in everyday situations when automatics are easier to use though?

      @vt3c They're hardly the inventors of the CVT but as of now yes, the largest automaker using them in most of their models. Nissan is toying with them.
