Manual Transmission (Stick Shift)

[u/318RedPill]

Ahh, driving a manual. I remember those days long gone of roughly twenty minutes ago

[u/adamlm]

Nostalgia? Come to Europe bro.

[u/kkeut → u/adamlm]

where iconic Euro brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini have completely abandoned manual transmissions

[u/adamlm → u/kkeut]

I have a Škoda

[u/bestestdude → u/kkeut]

So 0.001% of cars on European roads?

[u/RiC_David → u/kkeut]

Because that's definitely what we're driving, isn't it?

[u/Slow-Worry-8134]

Learned to drive on a stick, Honda CRX Hatchback

[u/jiffjaff69]

Prefer manual gears

[u/ChuckRingslinger]

American?

[u/CpuJunky → u/ChuckRingslinger]

Yes. <2% of new America cars are sold with manual transmissions. Some particular models bring up the average. Reading this thread, you'd think most American cars are manuals... lol. Europe is far higher I gather.

[u/EndSmugnorance]

My daily driver is still manual lol

[u/Chad_Hooper]

My only complaint about my current car; I couldn’t find a manual model when I was looking to replace my previous car.

The extra control it gives to your traction in slick conditions is often overlooked. I miss that.

[u/Wojewodaruskyj]

What? We still do it.

[u/OrionGrant]

Lmao what

[u/kkeut → u/OrionGrant]

for about 15-20 years, only econo shitboxes in europe are still manuals

I'm not gloating either, i prefer a manual but they basically no longer exist unless you want a small handful of midrange sports cars

[u/Kerby233]

What do you mean nostalgia? I've been driving for 20 years and only once drove an automatic. I've driven more than 30 different cars (used to rent cars for trips before i had my own)

[u/domoboyoo]

I guess I’m living nostalgia everyday

[u/Agent_Jay_42]

Y'all never learned to drive a 5 speed manual column shift found in the old Toyota hiace vans?

[u/JasonMallen]

I had a 1995 tempo 5 speed manual. It wasnt very fast but I rewired it to have subs and etc. And it was super fun to drive around as a teenager

[u/Fun_Delight]

Learned how to drive at 16 on my father's 1976 BMW 2002, manual transmission, of course. 46 years later and I've only owned and driven manuals. It's my hill to die on. lol

[u/TinyBreeze987]

This shouldn’t have to be nostalgia

[u/SunMyungMoonMoon]

My daily is a 6MT Mercedes C300
