PartyBullshiitDoesn’t come manual. Only the pdk. It would be slower in manual and the RS is made for max speed. No point in manual.
I know auto cars are faster than manual now.. But manual's are hella more fun to drive. Thats why i bought my 2024 jetta GLI in manual. IDC if its slower I prefer to enjoy the drive which is something i don't get with auto's
armchair_skierNeed to get like a 2010 or something back when they did offer manuals..
The special edition manual versions of high end porches are always worth more for a reason
They still offer manuals in the lower models. I believe even the standard gt3 is offered in manual. The RS spec cars are made for fastest lap times. PDK and other twin clutch systems are just faster.

Pdk’s are not autos. They’re twin clutch semi manuals. Most autos are slower than manuals. Twin clutch are faster than both. Completely agree about the fun of driving a manual. My sti is manual. The gf’s mini is manual. But an RS if not about driving fun. It’s about maximizing a lap time.
Part of why they are dying is because it’s a lot of investment for not a huge market share. In the past, they would perform like 1,000 synchro/bite point tests. Now it’s like 10,000 because consumers are less tolerant of a rough shifter.
I had a 2001 996 manual in a previous life. Fun car but so impractical. You could drive clutchless matching the revs, feeling the engine and feeling the pressure through the drivetrain via the shifter. It was smooth.

Some Swedish dude had 911 gts as a winter car. It looked surprisingly good with a roofbox. Second favorite car after the RS6
BradFiAusNzCoCaThat reminds me of Jon Olsson. Have you ever seen the cars he used to drive on the mountain?
That dude used to compete in FWQ. He was at least half-ski bum.
I remember Jon had a lambo with roofbox like 10 years ago. He has had million different 800hp RS6s too. He still has a crazy collection (including another RS6).

This is the 991 which does have a 7 speed automatic or 6 speed manual, this version was the automatic version, but on the track you rarely needed to change the gears tbh, I spend 90% in 3rd and occasionally went to 2 or 4th

Ah ok. Assumed it was a new RS which doesn’t have a manual.
So many people have been getting DUIs here by driving the wrong way on the highway... I mean I guess I get it once or twice, but in the last few years I think there's been dozens of this exact case including one where a pedestrian was killed. I just don't understand how this is such a big problem. How do you get onto the highway going the wrong way lmao?
Doctors and scientists invented the term LD50 to prevent from experiencing the true healing properties of drugs. You should ALWAYS ingest an LD50 of any prescription drug!!!!!

Omg I’m jussttt ugh she’s gotta be the one boys!! :)))

broooo glad your excited but were gonna need you to settle down and come back to earth. who’s to say some guy who did get her number hasn’t been hittin that all summer?? what if she comes back with a boyfriend, the distance breaks them up, she rebounds for you but never is fully committed because she thinks the distance was what ended it so she just fucks with your emotions trying to deal with hers. its a college tail as old as time itself lol
Dude trust me I’ve been in a bad relationship before, this girl man, I mean maybe she’s got a new boyfriend but she’s just like I said not that person, I’m very excited ik it’s bad it’s very bad tbh. But I guess we’ll see how it goes man hoping for the best!

Tbh even without the Mongols the empire probably would've split and fractured once again, if not by the Mongols than by the Manchus again or some shit
Yes but the cultural clashes from foreigners (remember, this was at the time of the European dark ages and the Mongol occupation brought plenty of Euro influence) prevented a lot of scientific progress at all. Even if China fractured from within again, there would likely be less technological slow down, much like civil wars you see all through history, where technology actually advanced a lot of the time.

I found it pretty damn hard to find a loyal attractive chick at college. They're all sort of sluts where I was.

Be careful bro. You talked to her for an hour and you’ve been thinking about her all summer?? I hope everything goes well for you and all but like don’t be surprised if this doesn’t work out.
college is sick. Our rowing house is hype, I got to DJ part of a party! Got into the genetics class i wanted, and the rowing’s been great even if it’s just erging rn. Also got a bid from a frat but i’m not gonna join. There’s zero need since we have a house

Tbh it’s a long story and I didn’t want to explain everything, but I can for context. So I was single going into the start of the 2023 school year. I had seen this girl and was like damn she’s just awesome. So not rushing things I started slow walked past her and smiled yk, then the next time same thing but looked over my shoulder and she did the same. Saw her in the cafeteria and gave her a wave and she did this like cute excited wave back. And she was with her friends so I was like next time I see her I’ll ask her out. I never saw her again. My ex was still at the college and well yk, she was my first gf and it still now is hard to like think about her. She loved me so much, but she didn’t love herself and I couldn’t do much for that. Anyways we got back together for a few months but I finally called it quits in April, I just couldn’t keep doing it. And the sad thing is I’m a lot happier on my own. But then I saw my crush in the cafeteria and that hour conversation was just amazing. So any who I’m excited to get back to college this year and see what happens!

Still, a lot can change over the summer so don’t feel bummed if it’s any different.
