There are pros and cons to both transmissions and both are good. Before we have both the manual and auto. Sadly the auto gave out after 10years of use. After changing the transmission we sold it and bought a manual coz we don't usually go to mla. but i'm still gonna buy an automatic if given the budget for our next purchase.[emoji4]

I'm just glad that I live in a generation that afforded me the chance to drive an M/T, maybe before it becomes a minority in about a decade, more or less. It was an extraordinary experience, learning to drive a stick. But you have to move with the times. Most people nowadays have real man-problems that driving from point A to B is just routine.

I love analogies and what comes to my mind is the Internet.

Two decades ago, to be able to connect to the internet, you'll need to understand how TCP/IP works, why 16550 UART serial chipsets were preferred if you use an external modem, or how to properly terminate a 10Base2 coax, etc. Nowadays, everything's plug and play. A nursery student can connect to the WiFi with little parental help. That's I think, where everything is going.

Truly, times have changed. Kids of the 70s and 80s have all learned to drive using sticks. AT cars were not that common back then.

Also, how irrelevant encyclopedia sets have become nowadays. They have become collectibles of little use to the kids of the new generation. The free information found in the web have forced these books into retirement overnight.

Para sa akin mas preferred ko ang manual. Nandun kasi yun mas "feel" mo yun sasakyan pag nag drive ka. Added na rin yun lower initial cost ng sasakyan and lower fuel consumption plus maintenance cost.

Sa automatic naman habol ko yun cruise control(kaso hinde lahat ng matic meron) lalo na pag nag long highway drive ako(esp lalo na pag may kasamang accelaration and deceleration control sa sterring wheel). Syempre nandyan na rin medyo mas relaxed ka pag heavy traffic. Plus lalo na pag traffic tapos paakyat sa inclined na road.

Nun time na bumili kami ng sasakyan, nag usap kami ng family at napag-botohan na matic ang kunin(3-1). New drivers lang kasi si misis at mga daughters ko. Bago sila nag driving school eh ako muna nag turo sa kanila gamit yun bagong sasakyan. After a later time nun umalis na ako naunang mag drving school yun panganay ko. Manual yun pinili nya na gamitin sa drving school para daw makita nya yun difference.

She then told me later on na mas preferred na daw nya ang manual.

It's a good thing na meron kami na mumurahin na encyclopedia. Although may katagalan na at hinde updated pero it's fun na meron ka pa rin pwedeng basabasahin. Yun bunso ko one time pinag research ng professor nila. At sinabihan sila nabawal mag research sa internet. They need to find other sources such as books. I'm glad that we had the collection of books kaya meron sya nagamit.

I also remembered the time during my college days nun nakapunta ako sa Thomas Jefferson library para sa isang research. Hinde na lang ako sure if nag exist pa yun library na yun ngayon.

Babalik ka ba sa mechanical 'pawis' steering para lang wala ka nang mine-maintain na PSF, pump, hose, at steering rack? Sa bagay, sa non-pwered steering, grasa lang ang sagot sa lahat ng problema.. :D Nga lang, maglalakihan mga braso natin.

Ayaw ni mommy o ni ate nun.

Yung comparson mo masyado malayo.

Yung pawis steering obsolete na yan.

Ang labanan na ngayon power steering fluid type vs electric power steering na . Power steering hindi rin mawawala dahil nasa infancy pa electic power steering.

Dito sa pilipinas ang manual trans malabo maobsolete.
