Can you drive a stick shift?

[BudAshes]

So i am just wondering how many of us can actually handle a stick?

 

[tbike06]

psh.....

 

[chuckywang]

Yes

 

[KarmaPolice]

yes

 

[Brutuskend]

I've only owned 3 cars in my whole life that weren't standards. In fact the first car I ever drove was a 1964 Triumph TR-4. Of the 3 vehicles I now own one is a 3 speed, one a 4 speed and 1 a 5 speed, all sticks.

Autos bore me ....

 

[Raduque]

Can I? Yes.

Do I? No.

I'm starting to agree, i've been driving my girlfriends manual lately and even though it's just a very modest saturn it is a blast to drive. My car seems so mundane to drive afterwards.

Yes. I know my way around a stick.

I learned how to drive a stick from my grandfather years ago, but I've driven an automatic for the last 5 years or so. I could if I had to, but it probably wouldn't be pretty.

I took my only driving test the day of my 16th birthday (Nevada doesn't require driving with an instructor/drivers ed) in a stick that I had never driven.

Some cars are OK as autos (My jeep is good, minivans, etc)

Small cars should be a stick (my 88 VW is a blast as a stick)

I'm actually kind of surprised that most people can so far.

 

[handoverfist]

Of course.

Don't believe the polls around here.

 

[Shawn]

I'd sure hope so, considering I've owned one for 5 years.

1. ATOTers who drive stick make fun of those who don't ... or at the very least are condescending towards them, so the the non-stick people stay away from these threads

2. This thread clearly isn't a serious one, so no non-stick person is gonna make himself known

 

[tasmanian]

I like da automatic.

 

[Colt45]

daily driver is a stick.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Yes, and I will never own an automatic! No fun. Even a stick Tercel has its moments.

 

[skyking]

Yeah, I spent about 2 hours driving home in stop and go traffic with one of these shift patterns.
After I get done with that, I gladly get in my automatic car and rest my left leg.

[I Saw OJ]

Yes. Everyone should know how to drive stick, its a life skill.

 

[LordMorpheus]

yes, but I don't have all that much experience and I'm out of practice.
