@disk4mat Can drive stick shift. My learner's car in 1977 was a 1969 Buick Wildcat owned by an uncle!!!
@disk4mat 74 VW Bus was my learners cars. With an extension on the shifter.
@disk4mat yes and I miss it
@disk4mat Um where is 4th? Did highways not exist when they put that stick on a steering column?
@disk4mat When I drove my husband and colleagues in a carpool, one of the guys told me that I “shift great… for a girl.”
@disk4mat
Yep plus manual choke—quite the thing getting the vehicle started in the winter.
@disk4mat unfortunately I can't, but I would like to learn. Just not sure how to go about that. I don't have access to a stickshift.
@disk4mat Driving one now. A 2019 Honda Civic SI. Makes life hell for valet parking people, though. On more than one occasion, I've come to pick up my car and discovered that it never left the entrance because none of the valets available knew how to drive a manual transmission.
@disk4mat I have driven a stick before, on the column and on the floor. Owned a stick for a lot of years. Haven’t driven one in a long while though so I’d be grinding a few gears for a while.
@disk4mat Currently drive a stick. One of the best things I ever learned along with touch typing.
I like to drive the car and not have it drive me.
How I learned as well, though mine was not a column shift, it was a 5 speed on the floor.
@disk4mat sure can. Learned on a 1954 Henry J. Drove MGs for quite a while.
I can but only on the floor. I've never used 3 in the tree (or whatever they used to call it.)
71 volvo station wagon was my learner's car.
