4: Stick Shift Vs. Automatic

stick is the best for all of u that think its hard u just dont now how to drive a car

Penelty!

Nice video lol this is one of the best.

Manual save fuel and perfect for short distance driving as in street to street

Automatic consume more fuel than manual but it's perfect if you are in a Traffic conjestion or long distance driving.

Stick is faster

Lloyd is completely right on this one. Automatic transmission is the death of driving competency in america. Thanks to the automatic transmission, we've removed the driver from the act of driving. This leads to a dangerous situation, namely that driving becomes a chore to be done, rather than an experience to be enjoyed. Now that the driver's participation in driving has been reduced, most drivers find a way to fill the gap in their attention span, with goddamn cell phones. I can't EVEN begin to tell you how many times I've nearly been creamed by idiot drivers on phones, not looking where they're going, changing lanes without signaling, and slamming on brakes at the last minute.  Cellphones are fast rising to the level of drunk driver in terms of dangers on the road. Worst of all is people TEXTING while driving. I don't give a damn if your mother is shitting herself to death, YOU DO NOT TEXT THAT OLD HAG ON THE ROAD. This needs to be an offense that ends in license revocation. NO EXCEPTIONS. 

And the only reason you morons can TEXT and PHONE while driving, is because of the automatic transmission. Thats right. The automatic transmission is an accomplice to at least hundreds of american deaths EVERY. SINGLE.YEAR.
Teach your kids to respect the road. Teach them stick!    

Autamatis is for dickss!!

hey guys i dont agree with neither but what i think u should do for a episode plz i beg u to do one about the culture of manga and printed media in japan with the voice of the english haruhi suzumiya 11 yr old pre teen begging here

TO BE PART OF THIS ARGUMENT, YOU SOULD HAVE OR AT LEAST BE ABLE TO DRIVE A STICK, OTHER WISE YOUR PREFERENCE IS MEANINGLESS. Stick is more involved and effeciant, automatic is easier.

automatic's killing america., that's so hilarious :D plus automatic is the most comfortable way to drive a car, no matter if it's hybrid or not

I like cheese

Automatic ALL the way, I tried doing the ones where you shift it yourself totally suck thats all I got to say.

I have totally been with Penalty on the first 3 issues, but on this one, just by car ownership and great gas mileage alone (and not really by overwhelming debate winning me over by Lloyd) I am going for Stick Shift!!! Yeah!

Automatic all the way! Who wants a stickshift anyway? Why should driving be difficult with a stupid stickshift? Stickshifts are killing America!With gas prices today, HYBRIDS KICK BUTT!

Alright guys, traditionally I'm with Loyd on this one. The manual transmission takes the cake of manliness.

But if they had let Linda Weiss continue talking, we would have learned that the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is superior to both the automatic transmission and the manual transmission for performance.

The CVT transmission has an effectively infinite number of gear ratios whereas your typical AT and MT might have six. 

What does this mean? The transmission seamlessly changes the gear ratio, effectively keeping the engine in its power band all the time, (the only reason for driving a MT is to help keep the engine in the power band,) without the operator having to shift. 

The end result is a faster and more efficient vehicle. The only drawback: Not being able to break the tires loose when shifting into second gear.

AUTOMATIC FOR THE WIN!!!

iF YA CAN'T DRIVE A MANUAL THEN U AREN'T REALLY DRIVING

Last 6 words were the best.

STICK FTW!!!!!

I agree with Lloyd automatic cars are making driving a car a mindless task requiring hardly any skill at all! plus hybrid driver are just idiots who think they're saving the world from global warming by driving the ir prius and shopping at whole foods im gonna laugh in  a few tears when all the hybrid drivers have to change their batery costing them a couple thousand dollars and wasting many natural resources and adding to the lie of  fuel efficiency just think about how many non renewable energy sources! 

you know ONE of the most important things we need to know is what type of car injured mr freeman i think that is the way to win this debate

part exciting, part safe. lol..... i think not

Damn I love penalty.....but stick shifts are the SHIT!

well i don't realy care cause i don't have licence , i m underage . i m 16...
I try to go driving scool and make the baby driver licence....
Sticksifth is good cause it's mecanical?
or auto , u don't need to worry about enge blown

NITE FITE used to be about the music.  penalty and lloyd have lost their way... transmission? bermuda triangle? patriotic popsicles? i mean common! 

lets get to the real issues, like john cougar vs john mellencamp? parliament vs funkadelic? beck vs jeff beck? velvet underground vs velvet revolver?

Hmmmm

Stick shift for the win friends, especially if you enjoy driving.

i am actually neutral stick .. i remember stick but those who havent driven stick as they grew up dont know really how it was i can see how many hate shift where i can see where many hate automatics so im w/ no one on this one

when is the next nite fite 

I am a 42 year old woman and I can parallel park on a hill in San Francisco with a STICK.

Manual FTW

I have to go with Lioyd i think Automatic and Hybrids are killing America!

stick shift is for guys that need to make up for somthing else down below.

I concede that stick is more fun.  However, those automatic transmissions that you can kinda do a stick shift take the best of both worlds.  Since it's really an automatic in disguise, Penalty wins.

Auto all the way. Manual is too awkward.

Manual rocks, automatic is for lazy people

Hi there. Perhaps you guys could, oh, I don't know.. Debate about things a little more "in-depth"? I love the enthusiasm of the show, but I want to see more arguing. More opinions. More fighting. Please and thank you.

if u can drive a car u drive it manual or flap paddle gearbox
thend

Stick shift is better ina big number of ways, but most ppl like automatic because they can do everything else except pay attention to the road or move their articulations. Stick is cooler,cheaper,you save gas, get more power from engine and if battery dies you can start it anyway!

Yea I REALLY want to have keep one hand on the friign transmission and hit the friggin clutch every time I need to change a gear - the hell with that noise: AUTOMAATIIICCCC FOR THE WIN

People keep using the term "easy" to describe automatics.  Is that how this country is heading? Are we becoming so lazy and fat that shifting a manual tranmission has become too diffilcult and tiresome. Please tell me it isnt so.  And manuals do encourage the driver to focus on the task at hand, which is driving, not eating, not talking on the phone or the worst one of all - texting.

I am SOOO with Lloyd!!!!  STICK ROX!!!!!!

Manual is the only way to go they are lighter and faster but the new twin cluch squentual manual gearboxis found in the new Mitsubichi EVO 10 & Nissan GTR witch in the case of the GTR can change in 0.2 of a second I would not mind having ether.

Stick Shift is right. You have better control of your transmission. You have to be an idiot to not know how to drive a stick shift.

the linda weiss cartoon has small boobs ={

I know they've only got a week to make a short, but with the Starburst money can they hire some more animators and make something maybe 30 seconds longer w/some detail? That may be going against what they're trying to achieve but I really don't know which side to pick. But this whole thing is a great idea. 

Auto is easier and less annoying in the city.  Stick shifts are good for only one thing - the first 45 seconds of a long stretch of highway.

I can't drive... but I think Auto would be easier... right?

Stick shift....faster!

Automatic.....but only cause I need to get my driver license as easy as possible

She's beautiful.

Automatic, its EZer

stick shift vs. automatic? its all about personal opinion, its too much of a grey area to decide officially which is "better". some people like stick shift because its "more fun" or whatever, but others like automatic because its easier and requires less effort and focus, so they can also focus on driving safely, or whatever they need to be focusing on. i personally perfer automatic, because its easier.

stick gets the chick... nuff said!

manual its for people who really drive a car 
automatic its for grannies and its killing america

Sweetie, could I have more Nite Fite please.

AUTOMATIC!!!!! The only reason you'd drive stick shift is to go fast, and switch gears at your own will. I like driving slow.

Stick shift

Side note Stick shifts are stolen far less then automatics!
How ever Stick shifts are Vandalised More due to The Would be Car thief getting pissed that it's a stick.
Most people can't drive sticks.
ok I'ma put my nerd away now.

moooooooooooooore!!!!!!!!

Stick Shifts. I like hybrids, but Stick shifts just appeal to me more.

Stick shift, nothing like taking control of you life one gear at a time. Automatics are great for drag racing, but doing the 1320 ft with a stick shift is a man's job

I agree with 5thumbsdown, AT for everyday stuff, manual for racing.

Stick. Its just so much cooler.

Automatic, I use my car to get from point A to point B.

I don't use it in illegal street racing, if I did, I'd use stick shift.

Automatic is for the WEAK!

Haha "linda" means pretty in spanish and.....if automatic didn't kill America, it's certainly killing Canada!

Part exciting, part safe... hybrids FTW!

Ahh, I wish I knew how to drive stick, all the ladies like that.  Stick is therefore better.

Automaic is the way to go, peopel driving stick are just slowing down th epeople of america!

Automatics and hybrids are why this country is heading for a recession!  Linda Weiss proved Lloyd's point! Are you guys blind?

Pfft...auto is for just the daily mindless commute to work. If you've ever driven anything with even an iota of performance value, you would understand there is a reason for manually shifting the transmission. 
Ex. Bugatti Veyron. Nuff said.

P.S. I love Dan, but Penalty needs to grow a pair ;)

STICK SHIFT WTFX? if you have any driving skill whatsoever driving stick is infinitely superior! you have much more control over the vehicle. and it's badass.

I'm with Penalty. Stick is okay, but I'd much rather drive automatic. It's just easier. Not to mention Penalty has about the same skills with the ladies that I do. Great episode this week!

Automatic for life. I'm with Penalty on this one

 Stick... JUST FOR THE THRILL

Penalty's got it. Too much work stick shift is.

Automatic... All I have to say...

Hah, I can say id never have Penalty or Lloyd as my wingman. Looks like they have a tendency to scare guests off!
