    Does anyone even care since this post has nothing to do about sex?

    No. Haha.

    I personally never tried to learn how to drive a stick.. Not that I wouldn't want to learn, but it's just more convenient to have an automatic.

    How else am I supposed to drink coffee, text, fiddle with my stereo, put on makeup, and steer with my knees at the same time?


    Edit: Before Sarah McLachlan starts playing and someone approaches the podium with a story about someone they know dying in a car crash caused by someone not paying attention behind the wheel: I'm kidding.

    hahaha ^^^ love this edit

    I can drive stick... well, sort of. I'm not very good at it but I can get where I need to if I absolutely HAVE to drive a stick-shift.

    My husband taught me, which I wouldn't recommend if you wish to stay married.

    Heck yes! I love driving stick and I'm good at it......I had stick shifts until my current car, which I bought in a hurry even though it's an automatic. My new car will be a stick for sure... Any friends that have stick shifts generally let me drive their cars when we go out...lol...prolly because they see how happy I am driving all fast n furious around town. :)

    I can...
    I am so proud of myself lol.

    We test drove a 2012 Malibu and I was sad that it was an automatic.
    We ended up not buying it.

    I can drive stick, but my husband can't. I kind of like that. LOL

    I was actually forced to learn how to drive stick in rush hour traffic in Atlanta, after buying a pickup truck. You learn REAL FAST that way! :tongue:

    I learned how to drive a manual and I'm pretty good at it :) But my car is an automatic and I prefer it that way.

    I learned a thing or two about driving in rush hour traffic in Atlanta when I lived there for a year :D It makes me laugh at drivers most everywhere I go. I think if you learn to drive in Atlanta downtown, you can probably drive just about anywhere.

    Yep, I think it's pretty bad *kitten* and I did it for 11 years, before foot and ankle problems forced me to switch to automatic :(

    I will ONLY get a vehicle that has a manual transmission. Currently I'm in a 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback and a 2005 350Z (with a Stage 3 clutch). Previously I had a Toyota Spyder MR2 (horrible mistake, I know), a 92 Camaro, and my first car was a 97 Sunfire. All manual.

    And yes, EVERY male I ever encounter goes "what? You drive a stick?" No, I just Flinstones my way down the road. >.<

    I know very few women who can drive stick. The only ones I can think of are my mother (car sales for years) and a family friend. Actually, I know a lot of dudes who can't drive stick and that shocks me.

    Yep, I prefer it to automatic, even though both of our current vehicles are automatic. :tongue:

    Learned to drive a stick on my dad's old beater Ford - granny gear and had to use two hands to get it in reverse. Mom said if I could learn to drive that, I could probably drive anything. :bigsmile:

    I also know how to ride a motorcycle, and how to handle a gun.

    Skills everyone should know in my opinion. :wink:

    In Aus if you can't drive a manual (stick) you're the odd one out, man or woman.
