Can you drive a stick shift?

Yes and I can even shift without the clutch 😅

No. Aerobics while driving isn’t my thing.

I call it my millennial anti~theft device. 😁

Ask my ex boyfriends 😇

Yes, all cars are manual, over here.

Only ever driven manual. My son is auto only and my daughter has gone to an automatic car but my wife won't change from a manual.

Yes, in fact that is what I learned on.

The first vehicle I drove, a tractor when is was 5 had a stick gear shift but you couldn't shift the gears while it was moving. I later learned to drive a 4 on the floor truck. I took my driver's test in a car with a 3 on the tree. I have also driven trucks with 10 speeds 5 gears in two ranges. I think I can drive a stick. Most of the time I only use the clutch when starting or while idling at lights.

absolutely - good crutch,, sorry clutch control too!

Yep. Never owned an auto until my new mini

Absolutely. Interesting ng though, the trend now is away from any gears, automatic or not. My current car has a continuous transmission. It is like driving a golf cart.

Yes. I learned to drive with "three on the tree" and required both of our children to know how to drive one before getting their licenses. My wife's first car was a 1932 Ford, so she could drive one, too.

Yes. I’ve owned two cars with manual transmission. However, I never learned to drive the older ones without synchronizing where you had to double-clutch to match the engine with the gears.

Yes.

Yep, learned how many decades ago. To be honest I prefer the stick unless I'm in stop and go traffic. Everything from sports car transmission with short and close throws to large trucks with the big sticks that feel like you're slapping the person next to you. 🤣

Yep! Grew up on a farm

My last car was a stick.

I would prefer a manual because they are less likely to have problems and they are easier to fix if something does go wrong.

On the floor and on the steering column. That's how i learned to drive. A 1968 blue chevy half ton.

Yes I passed my test driving a stick shift.Very normal here in England.We just call them manuals.

Absolutely. My first stick shift car was a Volkswagon Diesel Rabbit, and I've owned others.

Back in the day, the same car with a 5-speed stick got better mileage than with a 3 speed automatic. Nowadays, modern 6 & 8 speed automatics do as well as stick shifts, and there's less chance for the driver to ruin the clutch, so there's fewer reasons to buy a stick shift car.

Yes! Automatics were virtually unknown in the UK when I learned to drive.

i’m in the Uk, where it’s more rare for someone to drive auto than it is to drive manual

Yes , but not real good at this time . Hurt my left knee and right shoulder (sad) ready for an automatic

If one can’t, one really can’t be considered a driver.

Yes and I think everyone should learn

I can still do it I think.

Yes but I prefer not to.

I learned to drive on an old 1953 Chevy 1/2ton with a column shifter so I wasn't phased to see a new SHO with a stick on the Ford lot some years ago (maybe 2019...). The salesman that was showing me the car seemed jazzed that it had a stick.... Or as he called it: A Millennial Anti-Theft Device.

Yeah, we learn how to drive manually

Yes, my car is a stick shift by choice

Yup, I started with a 3 on the tree

I learned to drive with a stick shift.

What I learn to drive on.

@ThickMadame 🤔you mean basically you can change a gear lol 😆

Absolutely

Yes! I prefer them. The car that all my kids learned to drive with was a manual, so all 3 of them drive a stick (manual). 2 of the three still drive a stick shift as their daily driver.

Yes, my first car was a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a 5-speed manual, and my current one is a Honda Accord Sport with a 6-speed.

Yes that is all we had when I was Learning to drive. I am now a truck driver so it’s not a problem for me lol.

Yes and I can drive the old twin stick, stick shifters

i learned on a stck shift. i drove for over 4 years before i ever drove an automatic

It's the standard way in Europe. Still I'd rather learn and drive automatic. 😅

Sure can my firdt csr was a manuel. Current one is automatic

yes as a matter of fact I can. With four and eighteen wheels

yeah 99% of uk drivers can drive a manual. thats what you learn in

If there’s a stroking format than yes. I’m pretty good at it.

I CAN...I've never owned a manual car though.

Very few automatic cars were ever sold here 😊

Yes I can, but it’s been a while since I have.

Yes. been awhile since i drove one though.
