I’m a broke college student that just graduated, but I don’t have a car at the moment. I plan to work in a hospital within a few months (just have to finish getting some certifications) and hope to save up some money to buy an EVO 9 MR. Preferably white if I can find one

Just out of curiosity (not really a car expert here. I can recognize models and sometimes the engines, but that’s all). I have often seen/read/heard about a lot of US Citizens criticizing manual transmission (if not all, excluding something imported) like it was a thing created by Satan himself? Is it just laziness (i don’t mean to disrespect) because they don’t want to “adapt” or something else?
Automatic Transmission is a thing that started to somewhat “flourish” (together with assisted parking) in Italy just a couple of years ago, but still, most of the italians don’t even care about it. I still remember when my brother went to California for work (he works in IT and one of the biggest client his Company are some US States) and one of the biggest gripes he had with his period there was the fact that all the car he used had AT and he felt like he wasn’t in control of the car.
The 5-door mafia is in force on SRK. Do you guys have families or do you just prefer 5doors over 3 doors?
AT is starting to flourish now in Europe because it’s finally good enough for the European Market. Every time I rented a car is the U.S. the gearbox was so trash it made me wish I had manual transmission.
Now with sequential and double clutch transmissions (which are a completely different thing from a standard AT) which actually have gears and are faster than any manual transmission people in Europe are starting to appreciate
I drive a Hyundai i30 Estate, though I should cycle more now the weather is brightening up

No, we didn’t test drive the other cars except for the 335D because it was diesel(40 mpg) & qualified for the Cash for Clunkers deal. It was this or a Mercedes & we decided to go with this as it seems less people had this type of car & felt amazing to drive.

In my opinion the 7 series is a nice, executive and spacious drive, albeit a bit bulky when you’re doing city traffic. I test drove a 7 series and a 5 series and went for a 530D in the end. It’s great, I can’t fault it. I’ve driven many cars over the years and nothing beats it for everyday driving, work-home commute, long holiday trips, special occasions etc. A full tank gives me just over 800 miles, it’s crazy. 5 series feels more responsive when driving compared with 7 series. More nimble in the corners and such. All in all a wonderful car, I won’t be switching.
Oh, and bitches love the car too.
It is laziness. I hear the phrase “its too much work” often.
Nope. It’s not difficult, there’s other aspects of right hand drive that will mess you up before shifting would, especially since my other car is normal. The turn signal/wiper stalks are reverse, and after a trip in either car you’ll be messing up in the other for a second. The other problems with RHD are simply because I’m in the US…drive thrus, passing on 1-lanes, distance next to car, ect. All of these are bigger concerns than shifting. Pedals and gears stay the same just using the opposite arm.
Near my parents home. Specifically, at the end of Miguelito Canyon Rd in Lompoc, CA (EDIT: that road forks, and just realized the road I was on is called Sudden Rd, which is super short/dead end lol). The area beyond where my truck is parked is blocked off since its Air Force Base property.
Lots of hilly/scenic places around the central west coast.
None. The struggle is real.
alllllllllllll day.

My baby. No mods on it yet. I can barely keep up with the monthly pay on it. ~$400 a month is a lot for a full time college student.
This is my whip. 07 Fiji Blue SI. A couple mods.
