[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All five of my kids know how to drive a stick. I think it’s really important. I would hope that most valets know how to drive a stick. Aren’t most sports cars still manual transmission? [/quote] Why is it so important? Like some post apocalyptic event occurs and the only escape is a stick shift? I’ve driven many a manual in my life as a co driver on long trips back in college. But never had any other event which required that skill.[/quote] It's also great cognitive training for understanding what is supposed to be going on in your automatic transmission (ex. why to downshift to 2 or L when attempting to start in snow). And it's impossible to text and drive a manual transmission car. So I will definitely be putting my kid in one, when the time comes. [/quote]
