And why I prefer manuals

consistant ets.

I was wrenching a 4 speed Dart for a guy many years ago when he told me to make a pass with the car so I did. He then told me to make another pass in the car, so I did. He looked at the identical ET's from both time slips, looked at me, looked back at the time slips and said to me, "you drive the car."
I've raced and won many times with a stick car.

Reminds of this one we used to have hanging in the jet shop...

that pic is inaccurate since the transmission is not hovering above a lake of atf.

Inaccurate because the "power loss" arrow should say "multiplies torque".

Sorry, I didn't realize that humorous memes were supposed to be scientifically accurate

Actually BOTH are true. Yes, the converter initially multiplies torque. But it consumes power in doing so.
Power = torque * rpm...

where is the "TURBO ENCABULATOR" link when you need it ?

Needs more Wankel,

Now you know.

Humor is completely absent from some people.

AUTOMATICALLY

Problem is humor, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Some folks not only believe the OP but it has become a mantra of sorts.

How about this: you build and drive what you like, I'll build and drive what I like.

Nothing kills a joke faster than explaining it to someone without a functioning sense of humor.

Nothing kills a joke faster than being a bad joke.

You'll get over it, along with the huge dic-tator (Big Bang Theory).

I approve of this message.

my old man loved bad jokes.
and some of them were doozies !
the worse the better !
they always cracked me up, and the BEST ones were watching people cringe when he got done telling them.
