You look in your mirror to see an angry soccer mom tailgating you in this behemoth

Downshifting will put you guys in daily pain for months

That car is not light

Lift off the gas and slow down. Right down. Then accelerate away faster than she can in that barge.
If she tries to overtake, I block her or accelerate.

If it's on a twisty road at night, I'll just speed up until she can't keep up without tipping.

>faster than she can
425 hp

I do absolutely nothing. Her picking up her kids from handjob practice is no more important than whatever it is that I'm doing at the time. Besides, I'm already doing 9 over. She doesn't need to go any faster, and if I'm in the left lane, it means that the right lane is not clear, because I don't camp out in the left lane unless I'm actively passing.

>weighs 3 tons

> 425 hp
Weighs more than a 1/2 truck

Don't you know those have 14L engines?

It gets funnier every single time.

Move to the right lane.
Continue normally if I'm in a one lane road.

for you

They play soccer in the winter in Canada?

Wash my windshield and drive slow until she fucks off

Slow down

Pussy. Sue her to oblivion afterwards

Inertia. I don't have a lot, she has tons of weight even before her fat kids.
On top of that, they're usually automatic. Manuals accelerate faster because they don't have to dither around in neutral while the magic box does stuff until it can go CLUNK.
And the cunt won't be expecting it.

This actually happened to me just yesterday. I was in a school zone heading to work and this moronic typical basic bitch blondie thot was driving within a micrometer of my bumper while I was doing the speed limit. Thankfully I was in my POS beater truck so I dropped down to second and touched the throttle spewing black smoke all over her.

Wow what an unstable cunt

normally I hate you faggots but I appreciate this post

Wait for radar detector to alert me of a speed trap, the taper off my speed to the legal limit and watch them fly by in outrage.
Then pull out of the way of the approaching Officer.

I've literally done this around 7 times, it's worked 3 times.

a month and half tops if you are young. When i was young my ford escort got sandwhiched at a stop light. My sunroof popped out and landing on the hood

If i'm being tailgated, i move over a lane. If their is only one lane I might do a brake check if i'm in the car by myself.

start chucking spark plugs out the window

>manuals accelerate faster
This isnt 1970, just about every vehicle today will accelerate faster in automatic trim then in manual

I move over and let Linda pass. If I wanted to govern other people's speeds I'd go be a cop for 90k a year.

Engage the two-step!
.... I wish.
Move out of her way if I can. If not, I'll make sure I have enough room in front of me that I won't have to brake too hard.

Driving a manual implies you know how to use it.

>Drop to 3rd or 4th gear

>Watch rear view mirror
>Slam gas when she gets close
Since I'm in 3rd/4th I have enough torque to blast the fuck out of there before she hits me but I'm still able to get the point across, did this today actually.

>thinking it takes this long in the current year
Get a decent fucking car instead of a north korean shitbox and i guarantee you the automatic gets in the right gear, shifts faster, AND gets better mileage than you would in that same car's manual version. I'd agree with you if this was 10 years ago, maybe even 5 or 6 years ago, but today?

Maybe youd have an argument for faster shifting if you were talking about flappy paddle gearboxes, but an actual stick? No fucking way

>10 years ago automatics where shit!
>but now they r totally good 40 years of automatic technology didnt mean shit it was the past 10 years that sealed the deal
get your brain checked

>This isn't 1970

Cellphones were monochrome bricks with bad reception 15 years ago.

i like how automatics are designed with retards in mind, it's like a containment transmission so retards dont ruin all the manuals

Since we're talking kick-down and that sort of thing, I'd thought I'd post this vid I came across a while ago. I love how it just drops five gears fairly quick.

I rerouted my rear hatch wiper sprayer and turned it around.
I can spray behind me on command.

>hurr durr how can humanity have gone to space when we just lrnd 2 fly 60 years ago
>not understanding exponential growth
It's obvious that you're either baiting or too retarded to realize that what you are describing is exactly what has happened in every fucking field of technology since the 1900s. Cars take milliseconds to shift now, and when you stomp your foot the revs climb and youre in gear damn near immediately. They dont have to wait for a human to rev match and move the stick into the right gear, they do that shit for you

triple nickel of Fate

>ago
*before that, sorry

brake check

so in another 10 years automatics are going to be so good they can create energy from nothing
i suggest you get that autism checked

You don't need to be exponentially more retarded with every post, we understand the concept.

>pull the hand brake
>flip the steering wheel as hard as i can
>roll over and die

take your own advice

Wait until the nest red light and rev till the 6K redline and hope that the sound from the V8 w/glass pack exhaust is scary enough.

Jesus fucking christ. Not even worth a bait image. Enjoy getting overtaken by a 3 ton nissan while you figure out if 4th or 5th is better for your current speed

Whatever man, if you think you can manually downshift 3 gears and revmatch perfectly in half the time it takes you to blink, more power to you.

>only drops two gears
Shit, my 7 speed auto only requires one solenoid change to go from sixth down to second.

id stop and spread my buttchecks

I'm always surprised by the number of Ontario (read: probably Toronto/GTA) posters on here

How the fuck did Nissan get that plastic piece of shit to weigh 6100lbs? A fully loaded Suburban or Escalade is still under 6000 and it's way bigger...

Have you driven a newer automatic? Any 8 speed ZF will out shift your 6/5 speed anyday.

Yeah I agree

t. ontariocuck

Holy shit. you should need a truck license to drive this thing

Made with glorious nippon steel not filthy whitu piggu plastic

This

I can't believe the primary defense is "you won't know what gear to downshift into"

Holy fuck rofl. The only people that should have an opinion on this are those who have extensively driven both.

Are you admitting to being too fucking stupid to drive a car with an automatic transmission...?

>drive scooter
Get off of my Veeky Forums

This happens to me all the time in my shitty econobox Camry, but when I drive my 335i nobody ever drives anywhere near me. Feels good man

I'm used to driving a manual, and thus knowing what the engine and car are doing at all times. Driving a strange car with an auto slushbox was an exercise in frustration.
Especially when it refused to climb hills properly.

Automatic vans were easier, but mostly due to inertia and smoother shifts. They still don't shift properly on hills.

Slam the brakes, get a free car and ride to the hospital.

I've driven an escalade ESV before. It's honestly really easy, at least in America. Parking is tough though

Slam on my brakes so she'll run into me and pay for new tires.

Have you driven a half-decent automatic?

Because with mine its:

>push gas
>drops 1 or 2 gears
>accelerates

>hit gas
>hit kickdown switch at the bottom of the throttle travel
>glorious instant zf downshift in the time it takes for you to hit the clutch to down shift

Your a damn liar. This took place in England because its happened to me 3 times this month. Confess your a fellow brit now

Depends on the car. Obviously old autos suck ass, but new ones are pretty good. Mine keeps me in a lower gear going up hills, and redline shifts perfectly when it's being thrashed.

Nothing

I drive a Ferd Super Dooty

Perfect opportunity for a Crazy Ivan. Then kick her in the box and shove her out of the way.

>I've literally done this around 7 times, it's worked 3 times.

That's very clever! Please have 5000 internets as a reward for culling the herd of these obnoxious drivers.

Have you ever driven a manual? You do not drop gears to accelerate. You don't even drop one, let alone two. You should be in a gear that gives you enough power to accelerate away at all times.
