KMA boy:-D I like auto TT'ed supras:-D

 

practice makes perfect, i thought i would never learn standerd eather....but i did

if i lived in a big city i would probably get a auto because it would get super annoying, but im more out in the country and not to much city traffic driving so im good

 

Driving stick is not hard. I learned how to ride a manual bike in 1 hour.

 

hah but you only need the clutch for taking off and downshifting with a bike[8D] or are we talking 10spd huffy's?

 

No, i am not talking about 10 speed huffys. They don't have a clutch (i have a huffy mountain bike). Anyway, you need the clutch to upshift as well. Well actually, i never tried going into a higher gear w/o the clutch.

 

I've driven stick shifts for years & enjoy the heel out of them. My experience has indicated autos have a shorter life span than sticks. City driving can be a pain though, but hills are no big deal. When my daughter was learning to drive I made her learn to drive a stick before she took her test. I didn't care if she ever owned a car with a stick, I just wanted her to know how. If I had my way I'd teach it in driver's ed, but that's just me.

There is a reason why they don't teach stick in driver's ed. First of all, a vast majority of cars on the road (in the rest of the world its opposite) are auto and most people will never have to drive stick so its like a waste of time. Second, some people are such terrible drivers and can't manage the driving part much less the trans part.

 

that is kinda true.

bad enough people cant pay attention on "how to drive".

why worry about working manual the right way.






well. people tell me its second nature, but yeah.

 

I find I'm a better driver when I drive stick as it tends to keep me from day dreaming.

 

yea ..look at me!..i cant drive period...lmao...but im buyin my civic 5speed!...im hookin it up,cause its wut i love to do..[8D]
