Astra Blasphemy

Yup... Although I haven't let her anywhere near a traffic light yet... Thinking I might just get her the forester she wants in auto... Lol.. then I can play with my car a bit more...

So glad my girlfriend can drive manuals.. I get sleepy on long drives and she really came handy when we drove to Sydney last year..

Coffee, redbull and regular pee breaks for me... I'm used to being up for 24-36hrs at a time... Security work tends to do that...

Yeah I think its more the boredom that gets me.. on the way there on new England highway, I had fun and barely needed to rest but on the way back going along the coast man I couldn't stay awake.. I think she drove mostly all the way till coffs harbour and I drove from there..

So yeah a girl with a manual license sure is handy..

Therein lies your problem. You have nothing to prove to anyone, if you friends think your car is a girl's car, that's their problem. You know what it is capable of. And if one day you happen to take them for a drive through the twisties you can show them, but trying to show them around suburban streets just puts too many people in danger.
You're happy with your car, who cares what they think

+ 1 Agree !

I know you've already answered Ains' point here, but really at the end of the day your dealing with idiots or people just being idiots...

On that note, here's a saying I always use: Never argue with an idiot, they'll only pull you down to their level and beat you with experience...

love the astra for its go kart handling. put a few mates to shame when we went out picton way once. heaps of people mention its a girls car. i tell them it isnt because its got 19s and is usually quicker than most other p plater cars.

depending on how they tell me its a girls car i usually go yes your mum loved it last night or something along those lines

Let the car do the talking and simply agree with them. I get it often, especially when at the track.

The look of surprise when I cruise past usually gets a retraction afterwards

What is it with girls that they can't drive manuals hey?... Me and my best mate are trying to teach our gf's... My clutch is getting a bit of a thrashing... It's like the just can't coordinate 3 pedals, a stick and the wheel at the same time... Downshifts are the worst for them at the moment...

I drive a manual...I learned how to drive on a manual...my parents ensured that both my sisters and I could, since if you can drive a manual, you can drive an auto, but if you can only drive an auto, you're pretty much ****ed...

Besides, I love the times when some dickhead in an auto thinks that I'm driving a slow piece of crap (usually in the Astra, but a couple of times in the Veccy), and then I not only beat them at the lights, but I change the gears so quickly that I'm a fair distance ahead by the time we both hit the speed limit...they then usually speed to overtake...pussies...

It's awesome to see girls driving well especially when its a decent car... I was just trying to point out that it is sometimes a little bit more difficult for girls to coordinate hands and feet together...
