Stick Shift or Automatic?

What do you drive?

I like driving a stick shift unless I’m eating.

I drive an automatic. But stick is a lot more fun. Especially when you learned to drive it in an 05 corvette. =D

Even the most die-hard racer / motor enthusiast who prefers the stick shift, … they all eventually get an auto because after a few years, convenience will win out over any advantages a stick has

Stick shift. It’s been so long since I’ve driven an automatic.

Gah, paddles are dumb — just press the gas harder and it does the same thing.

I drive a stick for fun (wee) and an automatic for everything else because, honestly, traffic sucks in a stick in ways that aren’t worth describing.

I don’t drive… I don’t have a license!
They wouldn’t let me pass it because of what they called my “issues with meds”
meds=drugs

Stick offcourse. My dad used to tell me : Bart, if you can’t drive a car with stick shift, you can’t drive a car at all.

NEVER rolled in an automatic before tough :-) sounds a lit more convenient when you’re stuck in traffic tough ;-).
I think we should all learn to drive with stick, and after that, you can simply choose.
