Do you drive a standard?

also when you live/work in a military base, it smells of elderberries coming in to the gate with a manual

I drive a 4 on the floor. I like it, but i don't like having to shift as much as the freedom of an automatic * visions of daisies and sunshine* Plus, it doesn't have a cup holder...

[/quote]Yes. I taught 2 of my sisters when they were 14. They did very well. 25+ years latter, my mom is still mad at me for teaching them to drive when they didn't have permits. Anybody can drive a stick shift. It just takes a little practice and a teacher that isn't going to get all hyper on you.

I taught RussianGirl how to drive a stick... well, HSdad and I took turns. We lived in a slightly hilly neighborhood... fun times.

Jersey Drivers are crazy.  that's why i'm glad that's where i  learned how to drive.  you learn how to drive defensively.

I miss the turnpike, the GSP.

I suppose so... I know that when I drive in New Mexico or places with lower population densities it's SO much easier. I miss the turnpike and the parkway too... have you ever played pick-an-exit?
