Gimmie an old stick shift and I’ll be fine.
They say a stick shift is the #1 theft deterrent available.
I know back in the early 80s the US Army decided to go exclusively with automatics because so few recruits knew how to drive manuals and it took too long to train them.
Yep. Driving a 15 year old Ford pickup with a stick now. Next vehicle will most likely be a stick as well. Learned on the backroads of a Marine base when I was a third grader and my Dad was patient. Taught my son when he was 14 here on the mountain where I live in Montana. Nobody ever borrows his car now as they can't drive a stick!
Some of us would be fine with three on the column or four on the floor. I understand that today’s car thief is often unsuccessful because they never learned to drive a car with a clutch and standard gear shift.
I can just see lots of people driving around everywhere in first gear not knowing what to do next.
Yep, even a truck with a hi/lo rear and I'll be okay.
Me too, that’s what I’ve always driven.
