So say it to the guy who is arguing that? I've had two responses to my post act like I'm arguing for power windows when I'm aruing against them. I don't understand why I'm getting downvoted while I have two people who have been upvoted who fucking agree with me.
I'm backing you up homie, not arguing with you. You've got my upvotes
Sorry, misunderstanding on my part, thanks bud.
That person arguing manuals are unsafe, holy.freaking.cow.
That is a serious leap and some nanny state level opinion on personal agency and responsibility.
People get used too what they have, I get that.
A personal example for the readers, I was Indonesia visiting a gf's family and rented a couple cars to get us all across one of the islands. Gf's Aunt was driving the other car, I had the other. I had to turn around and trade cars with her because she couldn't fathom driving an automatic and need the stick shift I was driving. Blew my mind, but I acquiesced all the same. Driving sick from the right side was hella awkward for me anyways, not impossible, just not any kind of sexy driving on my part.
Rolling down a window is as much a distraction as drinking from a bottle of soda. If you can't handle that behind a wheel, maybe you should reconsider being behind a wheel in its entirety.
Some people, I don't get it
I mean, it's hard to be angry about it. It's so absurd, you kind of just have to laugh. That people are so addicted to creature comforts that they'll make contorted arguments just to justify their continued use of them.
