Today, most people drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, though enthusiasts of manual transmissions are still around and often believe that their old manuals are best. You may wonder what made (or makes) them so great, and more importantly, which type of vehicle is really better when all is said and done.
The Evolution from Manual to Automatic

How Often Should You Put Air in Tires?
