    I learned to drive in a 1967 VW Beetle! My truck now is a stick. I wouldn't have anything else. Automatics are too complicated.

    Yeah I can drive a stick shift.But alot of people in the US must not be able to because you can't even rent a car anymore that does not have automatic.

    goodvibes83,Yes I am serious.A few years ago I called every major rental car company in the US just to ask the question--do they offer any cars with manual transmission,all of them said no,not anymore.Not even in Hawaii where most (people)tourists etc. rent mainly small cars.--I agree with you it is sad.--I remember when I was growing up, most everyone who drove knew how to use a stick shift.

    Weird, automatic cars are still a small minority here.

    Well technically vikings have no need for such silly contraptions and would prefer a good Drekkar, or a trusty noble steed instead. but unfortunately the distance and terrain prevents me from using either :(

    oh and believe me, I know how to wrap my hand around a stick ;)

    I did once, on the way home from a dress up party. I drove down the long avenues where all the boy racers go to show off their cars, it was quite amusing.


    Maybe its a sign :D:eek:
