Should Men Be Able To Drive Stick?

No question where you live makes a huge difference in this.

Figures show that only about 10 percent of the cars on the road in the United States are manuals, and an even smaller percentage — only about 6 percent — can be purchased new with sticks, Mr. Alterman said. “Even Ferrari’s sportiest model, the 458 Italia, doesn’t come with a stick,” he added as a point of emphasis.

I have never owned anything but a standard car...But i 1st started driving a Motorcycle, and after that a SS Camaro....It REALLY is easy to learn...even in traffic it becomes second nature, and you can still zone out.

You are talking to someone who had Velcro sneakers at 8...It would be difficult for me.

True, but one of my rides is a stick and I don't mind driving it in traffic - but then I don't drive in traffic much. I learned to drive as a kid in a Ford pickup with "3-on-the-tree." Trucks have a heavy duty clutch and those are no fun in stop and start traffic. My truck today is an automatic, and I like it that way. But I like sporty cars, too, and to me an automatic takes the "sports" out of sports cars.

Stick shifting is fun and I recommend learning to drive one even to the most club a foot.

I was trained to drive on one...savagely beaten by my Father each and every failed outing until I got it right.




The best thing about a girl who can stick it is riding in the passenger seat and watching their legs move in fluid symmetry.....a skirt or dress being the best attire ( them...not you) as the muscle,tendon and yer so forth movement is to do die for.













Oh my God.
