They sell very few Civic sticks, yet most of us here (including me) drive sticks. Very interesting. I'm 64 years old and I learned on a three-on-the-column stick '54 Chevy. Almost all my cars have been sticks. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

^^^ heh jk.. its good to see older people using computers and staying in touch with whats "hip"

 

Heh, in a sea of sticks the autos try to survive.I drive an auto as well, even tho I could drive a manual if I wanted. Learned both, prefer auto.. Don't really care about performance or anything myself, sadly. Autos let me concentrate on more important things, like music and talking to people, haha. And no, I haven't been in a major accident in ages, and even the last one I can remember I wasn't the driver. My second car was a manual and I had learned years before I got that one, people say you get used to it and it becomes second nature, but I just couldn't ever get to that point. It always still felt annoying to me. If I ever got a car specifically for performance I'd go manual in a heartbeat, but for my daily I'll stick to an auto.

 

my 97 is a slug-o-matic [:@], i wish it was manual

 

Stick and i love it.

 

Auto, but I'm throwing in a manual this summer. Until then, I be all up in that automaticmofo shiftin gears, y0! ...and getting 12 mpg because of itlol

So I'm not the only one with ADD, eh? I'm still getting a manual... personally, I think I'll be able to pay more attention with a stick, since I'll actually be doing something while driving.

 

I will drive manual transmissions until they don't make them and/or I can't rebuild them. I don't like the lack of control you get with an auto.

 

96 dx stick!


everyone should drive stick. its more fun [sm=gears.gif]

 

93 LX AUTO, but it's all busted up, and I should just get another car now...

I know how to drive manual, have done so on several cars, 95 DX Civic, 91 Explorer 4x4 (a real old bomber if there was one),and a brief test drive with a 93 SAAB 900.

At Largo Honda used cars, there are TWO cars that are not auto, and neither of them have sold in MONTHS: 2005 Riced Si with Carbon hood & butterfly Doors, and a 2007 Nissan Versa with a 6-speed gearbox! <-- I could have fun with that...

I guess no one in the Keys wants to exhert any effort while driving. It's not like there is stop and go traffic anywhere here...

 

manual here, will never go back to an auto
