The fact that so many people including most young people don’t know how to drive a stick says a lot for our society. You’ve got to be pretty lame if you don’t know how. Even my wife can drive a stick shift.

Like I said in an earlier comment, my wife grew up on a tobacco farm and learned to drive the tractors at an early age.

I learned to drive when I was a kid on a stick and have never driven any other kind.

We live on a cattle farm now in retirement and have two diesel tractors.

Neither one of use had to be taught to drive them when we bought them.

All three of my kids know how to drive sticks because we taught them.

It's inexplicable why so many folks don't know how to drive a standard transmission vehicle.

Less than 5% of Millenials can drive one because less than 10% of cars have one these days.
