Idiot car thieves

haha! id be like that...but with an automatic, i havent a clue. I presume you just put it in Drive and hit the acceleration but seems to easy so theres a car im not gettin involved with! lol
much rather a manual - more control and realiability
 
Theres no fun in autos, its a lazy persons car as for most americans they all drive those automatics, they think manual gear sticks are to hard as you read in the above link. lol

GOING A PEDAL BIKES HARDER!!
 
:ROFLMAO: thats great!

i can just imagine the idiot looking at all the numbers and wondering where D is and why the gear stick wont go into any gear. DUH!



I presume you just put it in Drive and hit the acceleration

yes, but you need to press the brake pedal to engage drive
 
thats another thing about my car. i'd imagine that few wannabe car thiefs actually have come accross a manual choke :cool: so hopefully by the time they get close to starting it they'd of made enough noise to bring a lot of attention to themselves. either that or get pissed off with it stalling all the time as they'd probably lack my almost infinite patience with the ****ing piece of **** which passes as an excuse for a car. hmmmm :idea: maybe i should leave instructions:D
 
oh learn something new everyday :)
I dont think i'll be driving any autos anywho! lol just for future reference ;)

lol i had to practice in my bosses X5 auto before going to america :)

When i was there, i did a nascar driving experiance, they asked if i knew how to drive a 'stick-shift' i said 'lol, yeh, ive only ever driven a manual' and they were stunned :eek:
 
theres two diff kinds of auto, the US auto style means...#

press brake to get it into gear, otherwise it won't do it. then you've got to press the accel whilst letting off the brake. if you just jump on the throttle it goes into neutral. weird, but thats how it seems to work.
if you just let off brake, no throttl it just sits there.

euro style...
tried it with a german hire car (bm tippytronic) and wasn't having any of it! still the same pressing brake to change into a gear from neutral, BUT if you try and press the accel whilst touching the brake atall it does an emergancy stop :eek:
if you let off both pedals, it will build upto idle (about 6mph). great for traffic creeping (y)


thing with auto's is you nEED a big lazy engine!
small revvy engines and auto's just don't work
 
It's like when someone tried to steal my Mk.1 Escort when I was at University, but I had the battery on charge in my room ;)
Having said that, I had my Alfa stolen whilst I had removed one of the drive shafts. They must have towed it away. (n)
 
lol that is classic!! they really couldn't get much more stupid!! if you are going to steal cars you should learn how to drive them first!
 
manual choke...reminds me of my old mini ahah, took me a while to get used to that!
Automatics sound harder than manual :O
Well im glad i dont want an auto :)
