Reacting to an automatic transmission in a truck

I was half contemplating buying a new truck soon, but nobody even sells a manual option anymore. I knew I wasn’t going to be happy but I test drove one anyway.
I’ll keep driving my old truck, thanks.

You'll survive, don't worry... 😅😅😅 But if driving an automatic car is so traumatizing for you, I sure as hell envy the shit out of your life, man.

@@M4RCi92 that was an automatic truck. Automatic cars are terrible already. A heavier vehicle just gets exponentially worse in automatic.
And yea.. to be fair, my life’s pretty good ☺️
But it’s not like I haven’t seen some serious shit haha. I’ve been through war, and I’ve been stabbed. But driving this truck was a close third hahaha

Is getting an older truck not an option here ? or you strictly looking new, sucks the manual is dying out... not looking forward to it

@@kartious well, i already have an older truck. I don’t want another one. At least i know what faults mine has. Buying someone else’s world be like playing Russian roulette 😅
