Seems to be a lost skill among the late millenial/Gen Z groups.

Both of my cars have 3 pedals and I intend to hang on to them as long as I can. It can get annoying in ATL traffic and on hills (of which there are also a lot in ATL), but the open road performance is totally worth it.


im a millenial (1st year) and i know how as my truck in HS was a stick

but wtf does someone need to know how to do that for? its a lost skill because it is no longer needed.

thats like saying....you suck if you dont know how to milk a cow(actual cow, not just fat pregnant women) Why in the frick would 99% of people need to know that.

i mean 99.99% of new cars made in last decade are auto, so why is it a skill that is needed anymore?

do i need to teach my kids to use a rotary phone too? the obsession with this board with driving a stick is weird, every couple months this is brought up by a boomer on here like its some everyday skill people need

Which is funny because boomers were the ones that killed the standard transmission. Once they became the dominant new car buyer, sales of vehicles with automatic transmissions soared and manuals plummeted.

I see someone has never been outside the US much.

Because in a good portion of the world, manual transmissions are still the norm.
