  Whatever the driving school had, I have no idea what car it was.

  Never driven once since I was learning. Honestly couldn’t think of anything more annoying to worry about when I’m driving.

  I only drove manual and then bought an auto. Had trouble going up steep slopes more than once and came back to manual.

  I just put a new clutch in the vehicle I’m teaching my kid to drive.

  Yes, and in the land of automatics no less, and on a '99 Celica GT. It was mom’s car, but I drove it like it was mine.

  My second car was manual in high school. It was super fun to drive once I got used to it. I’ve had a manual for about 13 years and since switched to an auto for the last 9. Only reason I’d go back would be a fun sporty car but I’d probably be more likely to get a quick EV with one pedal driving at this point.

  89 camaro. Old junk with a nice paint job when I got it. Dad made me get a V6 after test driving a 67 mustang with a hell of a motor, being totally unprepared as a 16yo kid, and doing a 180 in an intersection. Tires were cheap and way too small for the motor. I’ve had a 300zx, e30, fj40, a mustang, a couple fieros, and a second camaro. All were manuals. I was in the middle of rebuilding the last camaro’s motor for low compression and a B&M mini blower when the crash that disabled me happened.

  I learned stick in my 30s after driving an automatic up until then. Humbling to have to learn to drive again at that point in your life.

    I’m learning to manually change gears for my first time in my 30s, but on a bike.

    Agreed, it is incredibly humbling. I’ve been driving for over half my life, and now I’m struggling to operate a vehicle all over again.
