Are you ambidextrous in both styles of driving or just familiar with automatic cars. There's no shame in admitting it.
Stick shift baby, speed!
I like comfort, ease and drinking coffee in my automatic.
I do 'em both.

I can do both, but I prefer stick.
Only-automatic drivers are inferior. I call it, the lazy generation.
I have only driven automatic. I wanted to try stick, but the only car we have with a stick is my dad's toy, and he refuses to let me learn.
The only car with a stick I've driven is our old truck.
I shamelessly drive an automatic. However, I have the opposite situation. My dad's toy is a Mustang Cobra, and he wants me to learn how to drive manual transmission with it, and I don't want to; I'm too scared that I'll smurf up his car if I mess up.Originally Posted by Yaridovich

You know what I'd do to be able to drive a car like that?
It isn't a matter of laziness! It's a matter of me being hopelessly clumsy! D:

I'd love to learn how to drive a manual transmission car, but not one where the stakes are so high-- I mean, I'd love to drive that thing after I learn how.
Like every stick driver, you learn in a diesel car. They can take a beating. And when you're done you can drive cool cars like that.It isn't a matter of laziness! It's a matter of me being hopelessly clumsy! D:

I will only drive automatic. I will never drive manual, because it's old, and primitive, and unnecessary. All I know is that you have to do things with your feet and there are horrible "gears" and I bet they chomp your feet as you use your feet. It sounds terrible.
I only drive automatic. The only thing I need to worry about when driving is changing the music. And eating. And drinking. And annoying people in the fast lane by pulling up beside someone in the slowlane going slow and matching there speed and looking at their annoyed faces in the mirror.
I think anyone who deliberately makes a mundane task more difficult for themselves is mentally deficiant and they should be taken out back Old Yeller style.
Everyone should drive automatics. But only until something more efficient and easy comes along.
I'm sure once you get the hang of it, it's like riding a really expensive bike. It would become second nature to drive it.
My dad's been driving manual cars all of his life, and when he drove my car, he said it felt weird since there was no stick to hold on and he didn't have to move his feet for the clutch.
My family was adamant that, in order for me to drive, it would have to be alternating between a stick shift and an automatic. I appreciated this because it turned out to be for the better, as I can now operate both with relative ease and am not confined to driving one or the other.
I don't appreciate the opinion of people looking down upon those who choose not to drive stick; those people are what I consider to be outrageous jackasses who have something to make up for.
The car I currently have is an automatic because my girlfriend is learning to drive still and she isn't comfortable with stick shifts in the city that I live in. All the drivers in it are terrible and I narrowly miss accidents every day due to faults of theirs.
Oh god, same here. I don't know how half of the people here even got licenses-- they're terrible! Turn signals aren't optional (very common here, people will just randomly slow down and turn without any alert whatsoever), and speed limits are there for a reason. There's no need to go so fast or so slow (I was once stuck behind some old person driving 20 miles an hour for 15 minutes, and I couldn't pass due to there being a lot of hills (and therefore, all solid yellow lines) and all of my chances to pass were ruined by oncoming traffic).
I was not happy.
EDIT: Oh, and some people just happen to like to drive in the center of the road. I don't know why. I enjoy blasting my horn at them.
I live in a college city.
Enough said.
