I've only driven automatic all my life.  One of these days, I'd love to learn how to drive a stick just incase.  I tend to have a lot of things that I want to know just in case I need to know it.  Stuff like picking a lock, hotwire a car, make a fire, etc.  There are plenty of others but of course they aren't coming to me at the moment.

I only really know how to drive an automatic. Like 10 years ago my brother taught me how to drive a stick but it has been so long so I doubt I still know how.

I love driving stick shifts.  However, I finally gave it up and went back to an automatic a few years back.  Getting too old to have to keep hitting the clutch and changing gears.  I still have nightmares about being stuck on a steep hill trying to get in gear without rolling back on to the car behind me.
Have a wonderful day!

I  have driven a standard shift in the past. Ever since I got married, I switch to automatic transmission because my wife did not like to drive manual transmission cars.

I don't drive anymore, but, I can drive both. Standard is more fun, but, automatic is for us that want to just relax when driving.

I drive an automatic, cars will not go into gear for me, have tried for years to do that. I have no trouble with the 8 gears on the John Dear.
