Who here can drive?

[john14]

I have driven one automatic transmission car which is my 1982 Honda Civic. I have never driven a car with manual transmission.

[drakkie]

I bet you did that with the C5...

Actually with multiple old bangers on the introduction week we organised. For this we did a little show on the end, with some cars. We practiced on a skid course beforehand, to do it safe. Afterwards I tried it (to have a laugh with friends) once on our beach, that should have been closed, in my own car.

OK good to know, but before you try with the C5 you may want to check on which wheels the handbrake is operating.....

[henk4]

apart from a very long list of different cars since 1966, this one stands out, 5 speed, non synchro and high and low gearing...

[Lotec_Sirius]

Had my license for almost 1/2 a year, I drive automatics

Dienstplicht ? My dad is full off stories about guiding these things and tanks throughout the country He was with 3 Esk.Mar. in Apeldoorn.

[fisetdavid26]

I can drive both automatic and manual.

Automatic: Pontiac Montana Sport, Nissan Versa, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Yaris, Toyota Camry LE, Chevrolet Cobalt, Mazda Protegé, Hyundai Accent

Manual: Mazda MX-3 Precidia, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Skyline GTS-t Type M (R32)

Nothing very interesting really

[kigango123]

An assortment of pathetic cars like tercels and geo metro and a couple of KIA's, best thing i have driven yet is a manual ford focus

[Waugh-terfall]

I think the Ferguson (35?) has a three speed with high and low gearing. It was my first vehicle to get acquainted with self-propulsion.

[Waugh-terfall]

The TEF20 had 4 forward and one reverse, I think, but I think the 1st 2 were more geared for pulling in sticky mud, very, very slow whereas 4th was actually pretty fast.

I would like to never own a stick shift car. I learned on an automatic because my dad thought that'd be easier than he switched me to stick later on. Even the biggest critics of my car can say that the one "cool" feature is that its stick shift.

Cars driven: Lexus LS430, Hyundai Accent, Scion xB, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Durango, Hyundai Tuson, BMW 3-Series (E30), Saturn SL, Pontiac Bonneville and others I'm sure.

That makes no sense. You know how to drive one but you can't be bothered to own a manual...?


I'd love to learn how to drive a manual. I'm only driving automatic because my father hasn't gotten a manual car yet.

The last manual car we owned was stolen. It was a 93 Civic Si. Boy was I pissed. I miss that car dearly. I would have learned to drive manual in that car.

[nopassn]

fine, but was it a manual or an autobox.....

All the "meat wagons" were autoboxes... I can drive both auto and stick reasonably well.

hmmmm how many others have driven with a dead body in the boot ?

Me and Matt...

FWIW, the most expensive car I've ever driven was a Maybach 62, around 17-mile drive in Monterey. Stupid fast for a car that big.
