mk today me and a friend went to go look at a car he might get (he hopes) and we got there i saw a blue G8 GT it was an auto though BUT had the auto/manual shifter, and i know as much about transmissions as a video game nerd knows about football or any sport for the matter. It gave me an idea i know it has to do with the computer of the car but how hard would it be to put a auto/manual for us a4 guys cause we kinda get **** on by everyone. I mean GREAT we have b&m shiftplus but... that doesn't help out as much as having the manual auto because we can't get our revs higher and have very little control over shifting.

 

what?

 

As easy as getting a new car!

 

what would it take to accomplish a conversion from basic gay ass auto to auto/manual?

 

buying a different car would be the easyest

 

**** that

 

or dishing out a few grand for what the turbo atom got

 

wow what people said about you is true...

you do realize that shifttronic does not really help. infact 3 of my budies have various models of vehicles and used shift tronic at the track.. you know what that did for them? their times slowed between .3-.6 of a second in the 1/4 mile.. shifttronic is worthless because its set up that if you just leave it in gear and stomp on it.. it shifts at redline.. just like it would when you drove the auto.. so no it would be pointless to do so. and prolly cost you 3K

 

**** this car god damn **** GM!!!! now i don't even get why they made the 2.4 and why the made MOST of them auto.

 

why would you buy a car you didnt like? get something you like

 

Why'd you even buy your car? Fail.

 

my dad said he'd buy ME one car and one only well he got a good "deal" on this one and said this was it but they use it as "leverage" to get me to do the bitch work and then i can't trade it in for anything else so i'm stuck with it and i gotta make due with what i got so its not really "my" car it's just a to and from school transportation

 

so then save up, do good in school and buy a better car!!!

 

save up??? pfft... what my dad makes me do in 8 years if i work every week (~65 hour weeks) doing steel construction i'll have about $10,000 and that's if i don't eat so...

 

beggers cant be choosers so forget about it, drive it around like its supposed to be driven and when you grow up a little and can afford something you like then be happy with that

 

wait if u work 8 years and u work 65 hours a week and only have 10000 then ur making like $3 an hour. thats messed up on ur fathers part bud.

 

A free car, regardless of what strings are attached, and who "technically" owns it........is still a free car.

You driving your "dads" Cobalt not paying car payments > me paying $398 a month on a Cobalt.

Be more thankful. Hell, if my parents paid for me to drive a minivan, i'd drive a minivan. Free = good.

 

ok... i was a lil off i get 9 if i work my ass off and 7-8 if its basic stuff and it's not ****** easy i'm not actually supposed to be doing construction yet cause i'm supposed to be 18 but w/e plus i do just as much work as anyone else and they get 15+ my over time is 12.00 and overtime 4 me is 50+.... and in the last week before football started in 5 days with 110 degree weather outside wit firesuits on i worked 68 hours and only get 200 to spend...

 

dude put a turbo in your i bet u will be impressed then haha

 

Suck it up princess....If you dont like your job find another one...

 

You have two options:

A) Talk to HackAbuse who claimed, and I quote, that he "can select a gear with the auto better than most stick drivers"

B) Cut your losses and get a manual car

I'm kind of in your position, my parents bought me a cheap, auto car (Cavy) and obviously I want something better so I'm working overtime nights at my job ($21.38/hr) to get an SS/SC. Do I have a life? No, but I'll have an SS/SC which is all I really want.

 

i take it you've done steel construction before??

and yea i would love to chose b. but it sucks cause my dad (my mom doesn't want me to have a faster car then her when she was in highschool) won't let me trade across for a ss/sc (in which i wouldn't have to pay a cent it's just its according to my dad a "step down" cause it'd be a 2007 and i've got a 08) or i made a deal that i would pay the extra insurace and whatever the extra on the monthly payment is and idk bout you but that seems fair to me....

 

I wouldnt say I've done steel construction but I work in a welding shop building chassis and bodies for dump trailers...

Theres lots of worse jobs out there but if you think you've got it that bad go find another one...

 

haha i work at micky ds lol i need to find something different

 

oh muffin...

I didn't know GM put a gun to your head and made you buy that car...you poor thing...if I were you I would sue...
