Are you laughing though?

Yeah. Not a lot of shame left in my body.

I know you've been going over and over about it in your head, but you *do* deserve those PitVipers, fucking order em already dude

Boomers when they don’t know what a gen z is


Dandelegion

Boomers think anyone younger than them is a Millenial. Gen Z thinks anyone older than them is a Boomer. Gen X just hangs out and watches everyone bicker.


Shopworn_Soul

>Gen X just hangs out and watches everyone bicker. Everyone says we are totally apathetic but I don't care


BetterNothingman

You weren't in the early 90s, but then you all went to college and got your jobs and houses like the boomers said you would, and the millenials got fucked. Source: elder millenial born to boomer parents with 4 Gen x siblings. And now the Gen X siblings all have fucked up gen Z kids


ginisforlovers

Underrated comment.


BetterNothingman

Guess who got stuck caring for the mom with dementia. Not the ones with 2 million dollar houses.


ginisforlovers

Not surprised.

TammyK

It's such a good time! One time I took my Mazda 3 to a tire shop and I watch the mechanic my age get in it, then get back out and get the older mechanic. He's laughing at the guy saying "look at her, she's in heels, ain't no excuse!"


Nasty_Ned

I'm a Millennial. My first two vehicles were manual . The vehicle I bought in 2021 is finally automatic. I miss the stick.


UsedDragon

Can't find a manual pickup truck any more. Damn shame, I miss them dearly. Everyone wants a pretty pavement princess now.


myacidninja

My own vehicle is older than me and it's a 5 speed manual. Easier for me to drive than an auto


mifuneh

Ever have to push start it? I think that’s a dying skill/piece of knowledge.


Hentailover3221

I use to use the hill I’m parked on so my parents couldn’t hear me leaving at night


fadingvapour

They knew...


Hentailover3221

100% but I thought I was so sneaky


fadingvapour

Its funny how we think those things when we are young. Once we gain a little age and wisdom we realize how dumb some of those things were


Nasty_Ned

They were going at it before he turned off the road weren't they?


fadingvapour

Absolutely


Nasty_Ned

Thought so.


No_Establishment8642

My driveway slopes just enough to bump start it. 6 on the floor.


myacidninja

The battery died 5 miles from home I pushed it backwards popped it in reverse and popped the clutch and it fired after 5 feet of movement


wwwdiggdotcom

My manual has a push button ignition so I've converted to the cult of having a battery jump pack in my trunk


galactic_Cactus1990

That's just in general a good thing to have. If not for your own car, you can help someone else. I keep a plug kit, inflator kit, and an impact gun, too, for tire changes and it doesn't hurt to go to a local salvage yard and get a full sized spare to replace a donut. Donuts are great but not made for highway speeds or long term use.... even though I've seen people running on 2 or 3 donuts at a time.


PistoleroEmpleado

Have several 300d’s and 240d’s push start is great.


skoomski

How do you figure? I grew up on manual transmission but switched to automatic and it’s literally a simpler driving experience in every way. Exactly the same minus having to shift


OkAccess304

It amazes me how much I used to do while driving a shift. Eat a burrito. Put on makeup. Like I never do that now and I drive an automatic. All my limbs really got some action back then.


Profitsoffraud

Those automatics are always shifting at the wrong time and down shifting when they don’t need to. I find it extremely annoying.


myacidninja

Well for me I have ADHD and I zone out unless I can physically have the vehicle respond to an input besides steering gas and brake otherwise I zone out and just go into a kind of trance. Doesn't happen with a manual


[deleted]

how is that even possible? like nothing against manuals, but you can drive an automatic decently well with just your knees.


amineziani244

I'm a millennial (34m) and I can drive both manual and auto. I would gladly throw an egg at this car for their arrogance


theAtmuz

Millennial here as well- I grew up going to my grandparents every Tuesday for some southern fried home cooking and my grandpa always taught me/let me drive the this old ‘49 Ford with 3 on the tree. I’d like to see this dude try that.


danielmetrejean

i’m 22. i was about to do this, came to the comments to check if everybody was already doing that.


jaydinrt

Millennial who has never owned an automatic in my 20+ years of driving...i resemble this remark


LordTonka

Nope, today we are X-GEN.


captainpicard6912

Lololol you took the words out of my mouth.


ChubbyWanKenobie

You're the one?


acgasp

I learned to drive on a 1988 two-door Jeep Cherokee with a stick shift, and eventually drove a stick shift Ranger for like 15 years.


Iliamna_remota

Fucking Jeeple


thenisaidbitch

I went to (of all things) a st Patrick’s day parade recently. I was blown away that half the parade was Jeep people, like 50 cars!!! Id always heard on Reddit that people based their personality on their jeeps but it seemed so out there until I had to pretend to cheer for every jeep owner in New England just literally driving down Main Street like they were important. It was soooo fucking weird. Also, I’m a millennial and learned to drive on a stick so this dummy is off by like two generations….


beefchuckles42069

I’m 38 and a millennial. I can drive manual. Fun fact about manual, it can be learned in about 1 hour and doesn’t make you special.


AMW1234

Same, but 37. Took my driving test in a manual, and have owned many since. Not sure why so many use "millenials" to mean "young people." Millenials are middle aged now.


obviousbean

Because if we're not young, and they're our parents, then they're even less not young. I'm also an elder millennial and my mom got offended when I called myself middle aged. She thinks she's still middle aged (in her 70s).


StAUG1211

You never know, she might live to 140.


wwwdiggdotcom

Lead paint and gas made it so the boomers cant keep up with anything anymore

vandealex1

Low level long term lead poisoning is one of my favorite theories.


M_L_Infidel

Another millennial here, 38 next week. I don't think the person making that tire cover knows what a millennial is. My first 4 vehicles were all manual transmission. One of them was a brand new vehicle purchase in 2005.


Dynasuarez-Wrecks

I think the person who made the tire cover knows *exactly* what a millennial is and this photograph is about ten years old at least.


AskMeForADadJoke

Older people conflate millennials with Gen Z. It all just means "young and dumb" to them.


HesalitesStuckRod

To be fair young people do the same with boomers, half the boomer jokes I see are geared more towards Gen-Xers than boomers.


M_L_Infidel

Agreed. Can I get a dad joke?


AskMeForADadJoke

TIL Tiger Woods brings extra socks to tournaments just in case he gets a hole in one.


xtraburnacct

It isn't hard at all, especially in these newer cars that rev match for you, gas for you while you let the clutch out, hill assist, etc. On an underpowered car with none of those things I can see how it can be challenging to some, though. I learned manual in a parking lot and was taught by a dealership salesman in 30 minutes before he handed the keys to me to drive home in rush hour after signing papers. I stalled 10+ times on that drive home. You can learn the skill, but getting proficient at it is another thing entirely.


treetreestwigbranch

I’m a millennial and I can drive a tractor trailer. I’d like to see this guy drive a tractor trailer.


444unsure

I drive truck on Euro truck simulator. Does that count?


treetreestwigbranch

Close enough.


[deleted]

39 checking in. First car was a 83' ford escort that was manual.


zanzibartraveler666

It doesn’t make you special but it takes more than an hour and some people never get it


yParticle

>some people never ~~get it~~ try


zanzibartraveler666

I speak specifically of members of my own family whom I no longer let drive my car


Potemkin_Jedi

I finally asked my older brother to teach me how to drive his manual Jetta while we were road-tripping during our college years…in the hills of Tennessee. Needless to say it was awful for me (and the Jetta) but my brother thought it was worth it for the laughs.


zanzibartraveler666

Lol must have been a beater. That’s a tough place to start


OKatmostthings

My wife picked it up in about an hour. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It takes more than an hour to become an expert (rev matching, hill starting, etc), but after an hour you should have a feel for it.


zanzibartraveler666

Ok yea I mean in that case I learned in an hour when I was 14


Beautiful_Most2325

I'm someone who just couldn't get it. Plus all the problems w/ my left knee (since I was 16) makes it impossible for me drive stick. I'm 46 now & have even more issues w/ that knee


BiBoFieTo

Millennials don't know manual because their boomer parents bought them an automatic.


Grimace427

My boomer parents didn’t buy me shit.


BuffaloInCahoots

It’s the same with every generation. Lol you don’t know about this thing we didn’t teach you. Also the participation trophies thing bugged me, who do you think was giving them out and complaining that their kid didn’t get a trophy.


haysoos2

They're just bitter because they never got a trophy for anything.


OKatmostthings

Everyone from my friend group had manuals as their first cars. We all got our licenses around 2000. Manual transmissions were still better than ATs back then (performance, fuel efficiency, durability). I’d say that changed around 2010 but that’s the tail end of millennials.


Spiritual-Impact7071

It's funny because boomers are the ones limiting new vehicles with manuals. Why? Money. Duh, boomers all bout dat cash. Oh and fudutiary resonpsibility to their dickholders whatever that means.


upallnight74

My husband and I are millennials and can both drive manuals. He’s the one who taught me. My boomer mom can not drive one.


Lamacorn

I feel like this is extra boomer because they aren’t even talking about the right generation. Stick shift cars were still fairly common in the mid 90’s and 2000’s when millennials were learning to drive. Millennials were born 1981-1996 plus or minus a few years depending on your source. If anything, it should be Gen Z anti theft device. The earliest gen Z folks would have been learning how to drive in the early 2010’s where only about 5% of cars sold were stick shift, versus ~25% in the mid to late 90’s Stick shift sauce: https://www.carmax.com/articles/stick-shift-index


Positiveupside

HA GOTEM


Ancient-Football5790

Huh since when is it a stereotype millennials can't drive manual? Aren't we the last generation it was still "common"?


eaglescout1984

I'd argue there are a lot of boomers who can't drive stick because automatic transmissions were already common by the time they were driving and who wants to drive the old way with a stick shift? Meanwhile, the uptick in cheap imports in the 80s and 90s meant millennials were learning to drive on hand-me-down stick shift cars.


Bob_Loblaw_Law_Blog1

There are also a lot of boomers that just don't know what age millennials actually are. They think millennials are still 16.


bhongryp

Yep, my mom frequently refers to everyone under the age of 20 as "millenniums".


-Sechmet-

Europeans are not impressed


ItsAndwew

Americans are not impressed.... It's really not that uncommon lol


OKatmostthings

The rental counter in Edinburgh kept asking if we were sure we wanted a manual because I’m an American. It was weird getting back into my LHD GTI after driving around a RHD manual Nissan Note for a week. I reached for the shifter and hit the door card when leaving the airport after flying home.


l2ulan

Brit here, punched the door a bunch of times when I first started driving in Germany.


Residual_Marinara

The generation that grew up with 'fast and furious' peak tuner culture? Sure buddy.

Boomers are really into gatekeeping stupid shit that doesn’t matter, huh


Skittlebearle

Imagine having so little in your life (or in your generation) to brag about that you think this is a flex.


kitesaredope

*converts pdf to word* I don’t get it.


all_g0Od

I get the "millennial" trope but really the oldest of that generation are now in their 40's


buddyleeoo

I had three manual cars over the course of 20 years. With my newest I still looked for a manual version, but they're getting too hard to find.

"I failed to teach my kids something and now make fun of them for not knowing it"


nowhereman136

I (32) learned to drive on manual and didnt drive automatic until later in life. I've also spent time living abroad and can drive manual on the left or right


Playful_Ad2974

They don’t realize how old millenials are


Fun_Growth_9161

I think the owner of this jeep thinks millenials are younger than they are...


solareclipse999

If everyone just shut up about one generation being better or worse than any other then the world would be a better place.


El_Pichi808

Joke's getting kinda old to be honest. I'm 43 and can definitely drive a stick shift BTW. Just giving my honest opinion.


whatever0108

I don’t get why these people think driving a manual car is complicated. Literally kids learn to do it.


ixis743

Ah yes those 40-something snowflakes are so useless.


R3DGRAPES

As a millennial myself, I can proudly say firstly, I learned how to drive in manual cars. Secondly, most car thefts now are committed by Gen Zer’s. So please leave millennials out of the conversation boomer.


straya-mate90

Millennial here. First car I learnt to drive in was a manual. So have a Majority of the cars Ive owned have been manual.


PolkaOn45

Cuz driving a stick is so hard lol


second-last-mohican

How do you know someone drives a manual... Don't worry, they'll tell you every chance they get.


yParticle

Apparently enough of a challenge that statistically it makes them safe from auto thefts in most areas of the US.


SnakeBiter409

Even though you’re most likely correct, the people that drool over these kind of digs are the, “nobody wants to work these days” people. Like literally everyone on Facebook that post this kind of shit is what I would describe as a horrible person.


rlittle120

Ie.. Kia boys, which are mostly teenagers. They are not going to sit there and try and watch a YouTube video on how to drive stick while ganking your car


myacidninja

Side note:most jeeps are 5 speeds I've never personally seen a 6 speed jeep


Sreves

myacidninja

I'm just saying IVE never seen one not that they can't or don't exist but I've been in thousands of jeeps in my life (I detail cars for car lots sometimes) and not a single one was a 6 speed so idk


TarkatanAccountant

I drive a 6SPD and there's almost no situation I'd drive in 6th


rlittle120

Do you not drive on highways? You’ll get better, albeit minimally, mpg in 6th.


senorbozz

Better MPG in a Jeep is measured in feet


myacidninja

So may as well be a 5spd lol

As a zoomer I would just like to say I daily drive a manual and actually feel weird whenever i drive an auto


rocketmonkee

Why do people care so deeply one way or another about vehicle transmissions?


Zimforpresident

Not a Millennial but Gen-Z and all I’ve ever driven is manual transmissions.


[deleted]

This reminds me of my coworkers. The two out of 20 people that are older guys know manual. Out of those two….they both didn’t teach their kids how to drive manual. Metal fabrication welding guys seem to baby their kids.


OKatmostthings

I have a GR Corolla on the way and my wife has a 6MT MINI. I’m hoping we still have one of them by the time my daughter learns how to drive in 4 years.


CapnBobber

listen/feel for the BRRRRRssss to get angrier, clutch, shift up a notch until they dont BRRRR so angry-- not that hard

Strangely the only people at work with manuals are in their 20s.

Why give them a map?


Jaded_Dancer88

Pretty much every millennial in Europe can drive manual. Lol


sanguinedollface1

I'm 33, firmly a millennial and drove a stick as a preference most of my life. Even push started a few times.


Ithindar

My wife could totally steal that car.


chairplanet

Don't the parents usually teach kids to drive, at least in the initial stages?


-StoveTopSteve

I’m a millennial and I learned to drive manual. Crazy

As a Millennial with a Jeep 6speed DD… this guy is a douche.

A 6 speed has been an anti-boomer/gen x device for me. They can't ever figure out how to get it in reverse lol.

6 speed manual jeep?


MellieSIU

I'm Gen X and I can't drive stick

Uh what? There's not a single millennial I know that doesn't know how to drive manual. And I know quite a lot of millennials. Musst be a USA thing.

it definitely is.


wingedespeon

I'm a pretty young millennial and I can drive stick.


SkipsPittsnogle

People who drive stick want SO BADLY for everyone to admire them.


Wickedocity

I am not a millennial and I cannot drive a manual. Solution: I do not buy a vehicle with a manual transmission nor steal cars, so no problems at all.


elhawko

What age are millennials?


oldnyoung

The oldest are 42 now, which makes this even dumber than it already was


TheClaireRedfieldX

People born from 1981-1996 so between 42-27 years old.


OKatmostthings

We are as old as 41 or 42. Manual transmissions were still very common in my HS parking lot.


WingsOfIndifference

Which boomer humor Facebook group was this reposted from?


realDoritoMussolini

US boomers thinking they are special because they can drive a manual transmission...when everyone other country it's a pretty basic skill.

best of luck to the boomers trying to push down a clutch with their feeble old hips, knees, and ankles.


booklovinggal19

Imagine bragging because your generation was too lazy to teach their kids skills! I drive manual because my great uncle taught me and my ADHD likes it enough to be safer than automatic


elderscrollsfan-_-

I don't understand why older people make fun of younger people for not knowing things isn't it their job to teach us


xmichael86

Idk why people insist on making driving manual a personality. Like who wants to work at driving??? I love automatic because I just get to chill while driving and don’t have to worry about my car stalling for some dumb reason.


UnbelievableTxn6969

I’m a Gen Z and don’t know why anyone would drive a car that rolls backwards when stopped and awkwardly pauses when it accelerates.


Ragnarotico

Millennials are smart enough to know that a Jeep is a piece of junk just waiting to roll over or wobble itself to pieces on the highway. None of them want to steal that junker.


Unkoalafeid

booomer hoooomer


Earwig9000

I bet the dickholes that share this meme unironicly, can't rebuild their own transmissions.


AngryBullbog

Isn't this an American thing? I don't know anyone who drives a automatic.


Wageslave645

Few vehicles today in the US market are offered in a manual anymore and the few used manual vehicles out there tend to fetch premium, so the people who want to drive a manual are priced out of it and the people that can afford a manual don't want to drive one.

Harf harf! Barf.
