It’s incredible how certain people are conditioned to think the sound of a gas motor and shifting because your puny motor is out of optimal torque and rpm range are manly.

Vroom vroom is fun.

Shifting is fun.

Fun is good.

Never said anything about it being manly, but it can sound good.

I’m a car guy and far from manly. I drive a loud annoying stick shift because it’s fun and life is too short to be bored while driving.

Yeh, but unless I uproot my life and move to a different country, I’m stuck doing it, so I can either bitch and moan about how much I hate it, or have the best time I can doing it 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yeah, I guess all those professional female race car drivers are doing it to feel “manly”
