Congrats, you'll never drive an automatic sports coupe again... Well at least until you get married and your balls get cut off and your testosterone dips.

Ayo?

 

[SplinterMatic319]

its so fun, i'll probably never go back to automatic

 

[illadelallday]

Good for you! Unfortunately, a lot of research has gone into automatics - making them quicker and more economical than standards nowadays. But they'll never be able to replicate the fun factor.

That's cool. I need to learn as well.
Today I finally got good at being proactive (got a job interview).

Not sure if serious...

Once you're experienced it becomes a chore to shift.

Are there driving schools that I can go and learn?  I only know one person who knows how to drive stick and has a manual car but she lives far away.  I don't want to mess her car up either.

I don't think it's a big deal, nor is it worthy.

LOL @ post about automatic sports coupe/sedan.

You is late..

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I thought you killed a man or something

 

[703 hwy]

I would love to learn! This is like an lost art my dad was telling me. Every man should know how to drive a stick according to him.

 

[kramer]

Driving a manual is sooo much more fun good job OP. My skill to learn is skateboarding tricks

 

[toast1985]

I hate to be that guy, but its really not that hard.

 

[spiceman80]

congrats to you...................i've been driving for 3 years and my first car was stick. I drove an auto once last year and it felt so awkward.

 

[kimahrioftheronsotribe]

Congrats OP.

Now go find a track and tear it up.

I took a manual off the lot and never driven stick before. Watched a couple of youtube vids, "ghost stick" my automatic a few days and bought the manual. Luckily there was no traffic on the way home but I had work the next day in traffic and it was raining. All in all I was 90% proficient after 3hrs total of driving.
