Gent drags manual cars in TikTok video

The TikTok video, which quickly gained traction, shows the man humorously ranting about the challenges of driving a manual vehicle in today’s world.

The man who uses the social media handle @callme_m.kayy expressed frustration with the constant gear shifting and the effort involved in driving a manual car. In his video, he joked about how outdated the concept feels compared to the convenience of automatic vehicles.

"Guys, a manual car is so unnecessary, like bro, for me personally, if you know how to break, accelerate, hold a steering wheel and control a car, that should be sufficient information for you to know how to drive. This thing of clutch control, changing gear... why all that manual car admin? Just get an automatic and call it warps clutch control for what."

His remarks resonated with some viewers, who agreed that driving manual cars can be exhausting, especially in urban areas. Others defended manual vehicles, highlighting their affordability, better control, and durability.

Benefits of manual cars

Better Control: Manual cars give drivers greater control over gear selection, making them ideal for handling challenging terrains like steep hills or winding roads.

Fuel Efficiency (in older models): Traditionally, manual cars were more fuel-efficient than automatics, though modern automatic transmissions are catching up.

Lower Maintenance Costs: Manual transmissions have more straightforward mechanics, leading to fewer repair costs than automatic systems.

Benefits of automatic cars

Ease of Use: Automatic cars are much easier to drive, especially in heavy traffic, as they eliminate the need for constant clutching and gear shifting.

Reduced Driver Fatigue: With no manual gear operation, drivers can focus more on the road, making longer trips more comfortable and less tiring.
