Lol. OP = Failure at life...
150 isn't even THAT much, no. But don't go around on public roads at that speed... Suicide... Especially when inexperienced on your L's.
Auto is good for cruising and city driving. Manual just gets so goddamn annoying driving in heavy traffic.
I was in the same boat as many others. Mum had an auto car, dad had an auto car, the neighbours had an auto car... Didn't help that my family was over a thousand k's away, and that everyone who owned a manual car was too afraid to let me drive it or had to use it non-stop.
I was forced to go for my P's in the auto Falcon. Since then, mum got a pissy little Swift that's manual. 2nd lesson and I was changing confidently.
If manual seems daunting and foreign, it's not. I spent the first two years of my license driving exclusively auto and learned manual in two lessons! It can't be THAT hard!
In the words of good ol' chopper: "Harden the FUCK up, Australia!"
