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.
Are any cars but "sporty" ones made with stick, these days?
More than a few have "clutchless shift" which I have had to settle for...🙄 😎
@InUnfunky @LadyIDO @LnzyHou @danialexis There are 31 models with sticks this year, and several are utilitarian, rather than sporty.
@danalan @InUnfunky @LadyIDO @LnzyHou @danialexis I grew up in a river valley area with steeply inclined streets with stop lights placed in areas that made newly minted stick drivers very nervous. You learned quickly how to shift into and out of gear from a dead stop on a steep incline early in your driving career.

Not unlike driving in the Rocky Mountains with 5-speed Nissan pick up
@LnzyHou @danalan @InUnfunky @LadyIDO @danialexis I’m willing to bet growing up in the Rockies and learning to drive a shift stick there was harder than the few rinks sink inclines we have here, although the light at 5th and Joliet Streets is still quite a challenge.
@LnzyHou @danalan @InUnfunky @LadyIDO @danialexis I lived in the Greater Lansing area for about 40 years. Just moved back to Illinois 4 years ago. Miss Michigan, really liked it there but I now need my brothers closer than 300 miles away.

Grew up outside Detroit but lived CO for 30+ years. I consider it home.
