Manual transmissions are for kids - driving a stick is not a special skill, modern automatics are better, the novelty wears off after a few weeks, grow the fuck up.
Nobody is impressed with your car unless it is no more than 3 years old with MSRP over $60,000. There's a reason girls like BMWs.
Miatas are not good cars. First of all, they are slow, second, sacrificing all practicality for performance does not make it a good car.
No car that needs to be modified to be good is worth having. If you can't afford a nice car, accept it. Fucknuggets from eBay won't make it better.
If other enthusiasts like your car, it doesn't make it a good car, it just makes you part of the circlejerk. That's like a weeaboo being impressed with your anime collection.
If your daily is a sports car, you have fucked up priorities and your life is probably beyond the point that you can recover from all the other bad decisions you have already made.

Realistically, you spent more time making this post than most people do taking a piss. And the fact that you care this much is either severe down syndrome or bad bait. 2/10 for a 4:35am post

I know this is a bait thread but other people say this one
>You should have a sports car but not daily it
...Aaaand the point of owning it is what, then? to waste away in the garage? you have your shitbox to get you through the winter or bad days, so when that isn't happening, the sports car is for what...?

HEY FUCKTARD YOU SEE ONLY ENCOURAGING OP DO NOT REPLY TO BAIT THREADS YOU ARE PART OF WHY THIS BOARD IS SO AWFUL, YOU ARE FEEDING HIM AND OTHERS LIKE HIM

Truth be told, I fucking hate driving manual 90% of the time. Most of my driving is not fun, or on fun roads, or in places where I can take full advantage of manual gear selection. I make downshifts from 5-4 and 4-3 when I see traffic slowing down to pretend it's somehow superior to just braking a bit, then I waste shifts getting back up to 5th.
That last 10% of driving where I'm on a twisty backroad or at an autocross barely makes it worth it. I actually drove my old auto C4 Corvette faster at the autocross than any of the manual C4fags who showed up. I don't know how that works, but it's clear to me that manual is a fucking meme and we all fall for it because we want to pretend we drive fast.
God dammit.

If I wanted something with a mind of its own I would´ve gotten a dog. >Nobody is impressed with your car Don´t care. Girls seem to like my car. >Miatas are not good cars. Whatever you say, miatas are fun little cars. >No car that needs to be modified to be good is worth having. Okay whatever you say. >If other enthusiasts like your car, I´d listen to an enthusiast over you. >If your daily is a sports car, you have fucked up priorities and your life is probably beyond the point that you can recover from all the other bad decisions you have already made.

nothing wrong with it if you match the rpm

My girlfriend told me she gets turned on when I shift gears. Did I do well?

You downshift to first if you want to unleash the fury of 6 thousand rpm at the intersection
Wyatt Evans
they do in shitty cars like the M3 and AMG

How fucking slowly do you drive?
Kayden Gonzalez
what? The point is that if you're going over 15 mph and you downshift into first you're going to redline.
Zachary Gomez
What does hitting the redline do to the engine?

>f you can't afford a nice car, accept it. Fucknuggets from eBay won't make it bette There is a lot of truth to this.
Modern cars are designed by the absolute top of the field engineers. Sure, there are cost considerations, and emissions laws and whatnot. But unless you're willing (i.e., have the $2-3k it requires to actually buy substantial upgrades), you're wasting your time.
If you want to go fast, buy a bike. Better dollar to performance ratio. $20k doesn't get you much in the car world; but in the bike world, for that money you can get a serious racing machine that you'll never outgrow.

motorbiking is at least 2-3x more visceral and rewarding when compared to driving

Jose Murphy
And about 20x more dangerous too

The thing is, though, in a car acceleration is way more addictive. Also you can take corners way harder in a car, where as, if you don't know what you're doing, a bike will understeer super easy.
Only had a motorcycle for a month though so what do I know. But I can say this, the adrenaline of punching the throttle has already worn off. Where as drifting my car around u-turns is still a blast, this is why my next vehicle will be a dual sport, the roadways are just designed to be anti-fun -- flat, slow and you have to stop every couple hundred feet, nothing like a race track or trail which is where all the fun is.
Adrian Adams
I used to dd a 30yo 5spd manual modified sports car. Fight me irl
Also, girls don't like bimmers because they're bimmers. You can slap BMW badges on a Forte and get the same amount of puss as you would from owning whatever Bavarian Miniscule Wang is selling for top dollar.
Isaac Flores
I'm assuming you've ridden a slow bike. I'm yet to sit in a car with less than 500hp 'wow' me with acceleration, there is simply no comparison. I can do 0-60 in 3s if I can keep the front down. If bikes are king at something, it's power/weight. Also, bikes oversteer easily, cars are prone to understeering.
That said, I almost pooped my panties taking a corner 20mph faster in my miata than my litre ever could and not having to worry about pulling wide as I rolled on the throttle.
Just wait till you start getting cocky and come out of a corner sideways on a bike, control how much the ass shifts out and lift the front when it grips like Casey Stoner.
Lincoln Morgan
50% of bike vs car accidents in my country are biker at fault, in some way, shape or form. It's a sad statistic, but with the amount of time I save commuting each day, I've technically gained 30 years of life over a car driver.
1h45m mornings, 1h25m afternoons with car. 25m mornings, 20m afternoon with bike.
Public transport is about bang smack in between, so it's up to the end user, I guess.
Easton Davis
>I'm assuming you've ridden a slow bike. Pic related, right, my daily.
>I'm yet to sit in a car with less than 500hp 'wow' me with acceleration, there is simply no comparison. I can do 0-60 in 3s if I can keep the front down. Feels slow on a bike though because you're so high up and the way you sit it's more like you're de-attached where as in a car it's like a cockpit. That's subjective though. Anything less than mach 5 would impress a fighter jet pilot.
>If bikes are king at something, it's power/weight. Sure. Not arguing against bikes, they're great. Hence why I have one. But cars can also be entertaining in a way bikes can't provide.
>Also, bikes oversteer easily, cars are prone to understeering. Then why can I take corners on my local backroad at 80 in my car but if I try that shit on my bike I'd be part of a tree?
>That said, I almost pooped my panties taking a corner 20mph faster in my miata than my litre ever could and not having to worry about pulling wide as I rolled on the throttle. Wait, that's my argument. Stop it kek
>Just wait till you start getting cocky and come out of a corner sideways on a bike This is where I stop. Riding dangerously isn't something I take lightly. I doubt I'll ever try to go beyond 80% of my skill level just because I like living too much. If that happens it'll likely be cause of gravel or something.
