I drive an 88 trans am, any ways go stick, auto's take al the fun out of driving. Sticks last longer, and if you learn to drive stick, then you can drive both. example if you go to europe, you'll be in hot water because automatics are almost unheard of. in my opinion stick shift is more desirable and probably a better resale value. it took a bit of finding to get a stick trans am

Same here, plus I prefer the extra involvement in a manual, automatic just wouldnt feel right

Personly I think that a Stick Shift is alot better. Automatics are alot easyer to drive (my 76 Chevy Nova is an auto) but I think that driving a stick is a lot more fun

I have had years of practice driving in our field in my dad's truck (3spd with granny), so when I got my learners I was about to hop in and go

BTW My uncle would always say, "I don't know how to drive an automatic." LOL

Your Uncle's funny Shilo. I live in the US, so automatic is pretty much the only way to go.

yah, id drive more auot if it wasnt for the fact that if dont learn to drive on my dads VW Cabrio (stick) ill have to learn on his Ford F150 (auto but a beast on the road) or my moms Ford Freestlye (also a beast) im driving the samll car because without the stick id be really easy to drive

I drive automatic but my dad drives stick. What can I say I'm only 15! I'll probably get a cheap car with a manual transmittion when I'm out of college or something.
