I could drive it like the wind. Navigated Rocky Mountains with my 5 speed Nissan pick up truck.
It’s a miracle. You are the ONLY millennial I know who drives stick.
@LnzyHou @danialexis I am gen x. Drove stick shift for decades. Happily driving automatic now.
Wow. Now I know two!

I am also Gen X and refuse to drive anything but manual transmission. My pet peeve is that hospital valets don't know how to park my car. That led to the emergency of my Cancer Karen style: sick and glaring
@publickovacs @LnzyHou @danialexis I drove manual sort of as a bragging right. I wasn't really comfortable with it, always nervous having to stop on a hill. Thanks to the wisdom and freedom of old age, I am happily driving automatic now. It's good to know I can still drive manual if I have to though.

Been plagued with nightmares of being in danger and unable to drive stick most of my younger life. Over and over.
Told my husband who grew up on a farm. He said “We’re gonna fix that” He got his friend’s truck, took me to a Kmart parking lot. We drove and drove until I mastered it.
I was in my 40s.
From then on, I preferred stick. Amazing to feel my little 5-speed Nissan truck climb up on the snow & up/down CO mountain passes. Tubes of sand in back.
