As I recall, I learned to drive a standard transmission by watching what my friends did.No actual *teaching* involved, just observation. It's not exactly rocket science.

I bought a car from my sister years ago (1984) that was a manual. She lived in Norfolk,I lived near Petersburg. My lesson consisted of "if you want to make it home,, you'll figure out how to drive it". I've been driving a manual ever since. It's the best theft deterrent known to mankind now.

I was the official shifter whilst my dad was driving growing up. As soon as i could see over the steering wheel and reach the pedals at the same time it was always, "move this truck out of the shop and bring up truck number XX". Buses really tried my patience, some shift backwards, reverse was a button hidden amid 20 other buttons with all the labels wore away.

Anyhoot, might just be a little too chilly to do "starbucks". Hibernation sounds good. :)
 
That's what I told my kids... if they drive a stick then they won't have to worry about anyone stealing their car or wanting to borrow it. Their first cars were all manuals.

It's always good to know, Better flexibility in the snow too, and mud. I prefer automatic but my husband and son always liked manual better. When we lived on Long island it was very flat and manual was easy. We have many steep backwards sliding hills here approaching lights that are always seemingly red here in CT, so for me with great tires and 4wd, I like my automatic. (I guess I got lazy over the years) I always welcome the chance to practice if a friend with manual comes to visit, though! I'm lazy ftw!

I was driving tractors while most of my classmates were playing with dolls. Only way to learn to drive is with a stick shift.

Yes, grew up driving tractors, mini bikes & motorcycles. For my kids, it was four wheelers and motorcycles. Sort of almost makes it cheating driving manual with a car.
In my youth all there were was sticks. had to beat the dinosaurs with a stick to get them to move.
We're dating ourselves, lloydstrans. I had no choice but to learn to drive stick.

Wow, You went to school with Sajo... [emoji14]

Lol had to say it before he did ;)

All kidding aside, stick shift is great, but so few options in today's vehicles.
