Tomorrow, I start driving school. True story.

Hey, I said it looked cool. I never said it was good! Michael Bay.

I wasn't saying that GS is right, but he has a point.  Forming a complete opinion?  Not so much.  Being a better/different experience?  Yes.

Well, of course. But the gist of his ramblings was the former and not the latter, which is why they were so amusing. I mean, I think everyone can recall seeing a piss-poor movie that you have fond memories of because the actual act of watching it was enjoyable.

Disposable White Guy and I enjoyed watching Halloween: Resurrection in theaters. True story.

There is something especially incredible about listening to The xx while driving down empty city streets at 4 in the morning.  I don't think I'd appreciate a third of the bands I do if I wasn't directly exposed to them while driving.

OMG, I have friends just like GS where half the time they want to go into a car is just to listen to music or hotbox.  It's one of the really pathetic things about teenagers (well mostly tweens) where they think their lives are a music video of hippy gayness.

The only way I enjoy driving is if it's without traffic in a manual transmission car.  I hate automatic because you feel so disconnected with teh road.

Having driven both, I've never felt this disconnect. I'll take an automatic over a standard any day.

But then, it keeps a hand available at all times for rude gestures to other lesser drivers.

Music sounds so much better when driving. I usually don't really get into an album until I've heard it a few times while in the car.

The problem is that you can't directly control how much power you're putting down since essentially, the car is driving itself.  If you're not shifting gears and watching your speed and revs, then there's not really any thinking at all involved in the driving.  Honestly, I think I probably also drive less amateurish in a manual since I have to pay more attention to the road.

Manual seems more involved since you have to effectively row the boat yourself.

I've had both and frankly the car itself made the experience itself more enjoyable.

I had a Taurus SHO and a Acura TL-S. Both cars ate up the road, and I had a blast in each car when ever I drove.
