I think you drastically underestimate the number of gearheads in the States. Makes sense, given we have incredibly limited public transport. Currently have 3 manuals in my driveway.
Of course, it a joke based on the fact that manual gearbox is, even to this day, the standard in Europe. I would be very surprise to meet someone with a driver license who can’t drive manual. It seems in the USA manual driving is a hobby for car enthusiast. But what do I know? I have never step foot on the new continent.
Am US citizen, only drive manual transmissions. Anyone here who likes cars can drive a manual transmission, anyone who doesn’t like cars doesn’t give a shit about a manual transmission and just wants to get where they’re going.
We invented cars, we’re allowed to decide how they evolve.
American too. I don’t really like cars, but if I have to drive one, I would prefer one with a manual transmission. Unfortunately, my current car doesn’t have one because they don’t put them in affordable cars anymore.
Yeah well it’s hard when you hear all your life if you mess up once you blow the transmission,.which is a several grand repair, nobody with a manual will ever let you practice on their car and well hey automatics are everywhere and don’t have that headache.
Nah, you just can’t without being a complete psychopath I guess force in a too wrong gear, the sync won’t be able to spin so fast that you can actually put in a ridiculous gear.
That’s the clutch and brake pedals…
USA citizen having no clue about the existence of manual gear-box in vehicles, probably.
I haven’t driven a stick in over a decade and this meme upsets me.
They just added the caption. If the creator of this were capable of making the drawing, they would do something more with their life than memes.
You can’t find an image of pushing the brake and throttle at the same time on wikihow.

Spray cheese - yes. Cars? No.

Because they’re objectively worse in all measures other than fun

They may have exaggerated the risk of a money shift a tiny bit. Stalling is easy, but blowing the car up has to be hard.
You would really have to do it on purpose to blow up your transmission. These guys had to try pretty hard

And reverse is usually not synced so even harder.
Third pedal is there tho
The third pedal becomes invisible to the ignorant minds.

The fools, this actually reboots the car into safe mode!
Joke appart, this is the proper way to do an emergency braking.
And if you have an acceleration-activated dash-cam this could cause it to trigger, which is as near to a screenshot as you’re getting!
Wow, this post isn’t even a meme anymore at this point !
Exactly. They take a screenshot.
