    Default manual trans

    saw in tracys thread about girls driving stick but how about guys. this poll is for all of ia. now be honest. if you honestly cant drive one then pick no. if you can you can. like when you say you can, you can hope and go. not stall 5 or 6 times or grind gears.

    HAHA! Seems like more than just a few of us have slammed the floor of an auto. My daily is an auto truck, so I'm used to it and can adjust easily. But man do I love my 5 spd, except in rush hour traffic.

    I cant drive manual. Ill fess up. It's been 8 years since I driven manual and Im rusty as shit. I know how to start but then my mind blanks out on me. The Genesis was supposed to be manual but you who stole my car from Rick Case I hate you. Though I got flappy paddle which is either a good or bad thing.

    Though ff anyone wants to teach me Ill buy lunch or dinner. It probably shouldnt take long since Im a quick learner.

    I cant stand auto anymore. Started out with an auto, then went to a 5spd hatch and dont know what id do if i went back. I know when i do drive auto, I go for the clutch when i start the car and when i come to a stop, only to be dissappointed that im just pushing the foot rest

    Of course I can. I've never owned anything other than manual transmission cars in my many years of driving. My last three cars were 6 speed and before that, 5 speeds.
