If you've never driven manual, Asheville is gonna teach you where the catch point on the clutch is pretty quickly. Originally Posted by mattman91

I learned to drive a clutch in the mountains of NC... Both the clutch and I survived. Originally Posted by OldPhiKap

Yes, because sometimes that clock tellsyou how much time is left in the game. That's why you have to watch until the end. Originally Posted by OldPhiKap

Yep, the stick shift is not for me. Can't wait to get the title in the mail in a few weeks so I can get rid of it

It wasn't for me either but I was in a country with few to no auto trans cars. So, I had to get used to it... Originally Posted by mattman91

I'm currently driving a manual. Well, not currently.
Currently, I'm typing on a keyboard while sitting at my desk.
But I drove to work in a manual transmission automobile.

It has been 10 years or so since I gave up my manual tranmission. I don't reach for the clutch very often now but I do still miss it.
