If ya can't hack it, ya gotta live with it.arent you the bill of sale guy? GTFO
I was surprised to learn my Granddaughters can't.
Vehicle has to be an automatic drive or no go...
How about you and yours?
Can you operate a standard shift vehicle?
Can your wife or kids or Grand-kids?
PS, my wife could NOT catch on how to operate a standard shift no matter how much I yelled at her...no, I didn't, but gently letting out the clutch while simultaneously applying pressure to the accelerator was something she just couldn't do...
Also, wonder if car makers still make standard cars/pickups?
PS, it's OK, if you don't know how to drive a stick shift...maybe you never had the chance...?
Stick shift is the best anti-theft technology these days!
Those dumb thieves don’t know how to!
I learned on a manual transmission and still drive one today.
Wife drives a manual transmission.
Taught daughter on a manual transmission.
Motorcycle - Manual transmission.
Still prefer manual transmissions, but they are not as easy to find as they once were.
My older buddy who taught me to drive his gas station pickup, three on the tree, he could power shift that truck. Foot to the floor and climbed the tree.My first car in 1974 was a 74 Vega 4 speed.
I was able to shift through the gears, from 1st through 4th, with the gas pedal floored the entire time.
Was consistent enough to win my bracket, and "little eliminator" at the Corpus drag strip,the one and only time I went there.
Forgot all about that.Uggh. My sister had one of the original Honda Civics. It had a clutch cable that frequently broke. I had to drive it that way a few times where I had to rev match the engine to the transmission to not fry the syncros.
Show off his 30SC?Perhaps, if any man can not answer "yes I can drive a standard shift transmission", he must immediately give up his man card, do not pass go, but go directly to the sissy metro-man pink Ken-doll club house.
barbies ken got his ass whooped by Gi joe!Show off his 30SC?
I used to daily drive a car with a very binary clutch (solid disc, no springs, sintered iron pucks). In I-10 bumper to bumper traffic from the Houston Galleria to Katy, and everywhere else around this town. I never got tired of the clutch. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I just prefer manuals.^^ True dat. The reasons I wanted a stick car were that they're more fun to drive and I don't have to spend time in traffic. For most people, they are impractical.
If I had more than a 20 minute commute in traffic, there's no way I'd want a manual. When the wifey-mate and I go gallivanting to Austin or San Antonio, we usually take the MX-5. Dislike driving it in traffic. It's a throwback - autos shift better and faster - dual clutch autos - pfft. Manual guys are left in the dust.
Meh - get off my lawn - I like 1911's too.
I floated gears for a living for 50 years, easy after 2 or 3 hundred thousand miles.Uggh. My sister had one of the original Honda Civics. It had a clutch cable that frequently broke. I had to drive it that way a few times where I had to rev match the engine to the transmission to not fry the syncros.
Take it out of gear to stop, kill motor, put in gear, hit the starter and there ya go.Forgot all about that.
My Vega had the same setup.
It broke on the way home to Kingsville coming back from Corpus one day.
Rolled through several stops.
Luckily I never had to come to a complete stop until I got home.
