Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Yes, it is what I learned to drive on, and took my test on. I love driving stick.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Yes, I can. I learned on a huge Ford F250 pickup and a dumptruck when I was in HS....  The throws on those trucks were about 3 feet! I also had to hug the steering wheel to get the clutch all the way in.
I have an auto now, since DW can't drive stick, and we can't afford to have a car that she can't drive. I've told her for many years that my "midlife crisis" car is going to be a manual....

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Can I? Yes.
Can I do it well? NO.
My friend taught me about 4 years ago, but I haven't driven a manual car since then, although if I have to I could. I actually don't like it at all.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
To answer my own question, I learned and I can, but my car is an automatic and I much prefer it. DH has a stick shift car which I drive occasionally, but I much prefer my own. (Haha, that originally said my DH has a stick shift that I drive occasionally, but I realized that might have other connotations!! )

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
I loved driving stick! I plan (at some point) to own a manual car again. Prob won't happen until our kids are grown.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
I was taught, I wouldn't say I learned
and I think I destroyed my friends clutch in the process
I'll stick to automatic!

Yes, I drive a stick now. I might get an automatic for my next car, but not sure yet.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
The first car I ever bought was stick...I didn't know how to drive it until I left the lot (my dad test drove it for me). Within 2 hours I was a pro.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Yes, I learned on a stick shift. I even use the manual shift mode in my automatic car. The ability to shift on your own, in some ways, makes driving easier and, often, better, imo.

Yes. I drove stick for years. My current car is an automatic, but I drive dh's (manual) car occasionally.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Nope. DH tried to teach me years ago, but I got so frustrated that when he told me to drive to the other side of the parking lot to meet him, I turned the car off, got out, walked to the other side and threw the keys at him and told him to go get the car himself.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Yep, I learned. Haven't had the need to or the desire to drive one since then (I learned nearly 20 years ago, so I am sure I am really rusty!).

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Yup and I prefer it!
Both of our vehicles are automatic because a manual transmission is a PIA to drive in NY and we have SUV's.
If I am going to drive a manual then I want it to be a sports car....on an open road...where I can really take advantage of it!

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
Every car I have owned but my first has been stick. Both DH and my car are stick shift, it will be a sad day when they do away with it. Which is the direction I think a lot of car companies are going.

Re: Can you drive a manual shift car?
My HS boyfriend tried to teach me on his car. I can't say I was a success at it either. To my credit I did not blow out his clutch. I found it difficult though.
