re: Anybody here dont know how to drive a stick?

Forgot the brake once.

Ended up in the middle of my street.

Drove nothing but 5-speed sticks from 1983-2011. Enjoyed the extra pickup when pulling onto interstate traffic.

yes, I was not allowed to drive until I learned; as my first car was stick shift. I also had to parallel park a 1970's classic caddie in my sleep.

I didn't have my first automatic vehicle until I was 25. I get a chuckle every time we are on a plant site and tell one of the younger green horns to pull the truck up so we can start loading it and they come back wide eyed saying they cant get the truck to start. I ask them if the pushed the clutch in and get the what is a clutch response. My wife (no pics) is 32 and has no idea how to drive one but in my defense she scares the shite out of me with an automatic I am not adding another pedal to the mix

I started driving a tractor with a clutch when I was 12. Had to fasten a wood block to the clutch and brake so I could reach it. My girlfriend in high school could drive my three on a tree pickup in 1973. She was 15.

I can do it, but I'm really bad at it.

Last time I tried was in a Porsche (not mine), and I stalled it

I can get around in a Wrangler without completely ruining it though.

i have and theoretically can, but haven't done it in so long i'm sure i'd frick up the clutch

It's not THAT easy. The hardest thing to learn is going from a stand still. They get it in your head that it's 1 to 1 on the clutch and gas, but that will mess you up if you're at a stop. It took me a few days to get the feel of how much to let up on the clutch and how much gas to give it. Once you're going, it's a piece of cake. Then it's learning about downshifting and how not to go from 2nd to 5th.
