haha very true, before i got my S10, yes i knew how to drive manual, well? not at all. but now after driving it around i'm good. i'm glad i didnt get a nice car with a manual to practice on lol
eh, I could probably use those same statistics and make up an article about right handed people vs. left handed people.

Pretty funny. It seems like the surveying was done over in Europe to me though, even though its MiniUSA.
Oh and I can drive stick, it just smells funny after I park :scratch:

LOL - I can drive stick, and am left-handed! :) I have most of the traits described, especially in the "cars" section. Someday I will have a mid-'80s Alfa Romeo droptop, love open-roof cars (wife's Liberty and my G both have sunroofs, and have owned a Sebring 'vert in the past), have changed many a flat tire, had my own car in HS, and LOVE bumper cars. Oh yeah, I HATE bumper stickers too. :)
Good find!

Driving stick sucks. Everyday I drive the formula I remember this, but if you want to go more than straight and you magically don't hit route 1 traffic in Edison it's not that bad.
My next car will be auto.

As of now only one person can't drive stick in the poll. There is some winning here.

For you guys who want to learn...
Step 1: Go out and buy a $600 stick POS
Step 2: Sell it for $500 when you're done.
I went a different route and bought a new 6 speed car and never once drove stick before. I just taught myself and I'll let my warranty handle the rest.

i've thought about this as well. I think it would be a little easier if i did it at 16/17 opposed to now. Still not impossible though.

I think I learned to drive on a manual trans when I was like 12. Our rock crawler was a stick. Miserable to learn to drive stick in a lifted truck going 5 MPH over rocks.

i went from 2 manual cars to 2 automatic cars. And i am not happy. The camaro will be manual one of these days, but an auto was cheaper to throw in for now. And jaguar doesnt make stick 4doors. uhg, i'll be back behind the stick one of these days =[
