I guess I think about driving a lot but I am actually curious about whether a lot of the "younger generations" can drive stick shifts. I learned on one and so did both of my kids, growing up. Also, when I watch The Amazing Race I'm always amazed that some teams can't drive a stick since that is usually required at some point on the race since they're driving in other countries.

Sadly I do not.

One of multiple reasons I would never do TAR

I learned how to drive with a stick-shift and didn't even own a car with an automatic transmission until well into my 30s. I still worry I'll reflexively go to hit the clutch with my left foot and push in the emergency brake by mistake.

It's fun once you get the hang of it. If I can learn, anyone can. JK but I think you could do it lol.

great question


I can't

I'd like to learn at some point but I feel like the moment has passed

I don't know how I drive manual but I want to learn, it would be handy and cheaper if I ever got a standard car

I can drive em all.

I can, but it's not feasible in rush hour traffic. or anytime around here tbhimofwiw

Tbh I'm not sure I could double clutch my way through an 18 speed anymore, but I could bitd.

'No, but I could pick it up quickly if I had to.'

I'm a great student

No. The first vehicle I had was a manual pick up truck Mr. C bought for me. He tried teaching me in it and he's a terrible teacher and I thought I was gonna die so I told him hey let me drive your fucking car.

Yup

I have hit the gas and brake at the same time thinking I am driving a stick. I do not recommend. The car did like an emergency shut off in the middle of the road.
