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.

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 🤷🏾‍♂️

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

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