Can you drive stick?

Yup. I learned how to drive stick about 4 years ago

The only thing that sucks about driving stick is when you're stuck in traffic. Having to shift from first to second gear, the back to first again after a full stop is just annoying.

Yup , it's the only way to really drive . Always try going for the clutch in my girlfriend's automatic because I miss it. It just takes time in the beginning for learning stopping/starting and for starting on a hill.

indeed.i drive either or.

Nope. The convenience of automatic outweighs the pros of stick.

of course. it's the only way to drive.

I learned on a motorcyle, and then I had a stick for a while, so yes.

I hate the term Stick, It's called a Manual. And yes i can.

Yeah, I had a '72 Camaro and then an '82 Camaro, both of which had four speeds. I actually learned on my Dad's old Plymouth TC3 way back in the day.

Not at the moment.

Of course. It is part of the way vehicles are meant to be driven.

No. I wish I could though.

yeah but i buy automatic :3 BEANS don't you have to deal with horrendous traffic too?Jandurin

Sometimes, but I am like a wizard. Have gotten used to driving stick in traffic, (was a b**** for the longest time) though I tend to avoid when possible. It's also not as bad as the DC metro area.

Technically I can...I know how I just have not for years. Have no wish to do so either.Sunsha

I can say from experience, that driving a manual is like riding a bike. I hadnt touched a stick for over 2 years, when I got back into one, it was like I never stopped.

I'd get an automatic for a high performance vehicle. If it's something I'm just going to use to commute, go get chow, and go to bars* in, then I want a car that drives for me.

* And that brings up another problem when you have a stick: It limits who can DD. I've DD'd like, twice in my life and it was lame both times, so I don't wanna do it.

I just learned, i had a lot of trouble going from stop to first. But, just got the hang of it and it's a blast. How bout you guys?tripp944

Like 99% of other people in the UK, I am currently learning to drive in a manual.

Virtually everybody "drives stick" here.

Yea, learned to drive on a '86 Mazda B2000 when I was 13 (down our dirt road).

Not well. I learned on my buddies car like eight years ago and haven't driven one since.

i always say i can't drive stick if DD comes up with the hope that whichever car is around happens to be stickJandurin

Now here's a clever man.

Yes. I learned about 6 and a half years ago. I did it the hard way.. By buying a car with a manual transmission without knowing how to drive stick. I stalled it about 8 or 9 times on the way home.

When I have a girlfriend, she'll usually do the driving. My key roulette is rigged.

nope. Personallly I'm amazed stick is still around.

I assume I am capable of driving stick despite never having actually driven stick. I make this assumption due to my experience with ATVs and motorcycles with stick.mindstorm

I have an easier time on the bike than I do in a car. I assume it's due to the much more precise control I achieve by manipulating something with my fingers, versus pushing on it with my foot.
