I'm glad to see Surley's in Cali. I built up a non-disc trucker about four years ago and it's my primary transport as well. Good to see they've made it well beyond Minnesota. A fine Brooks you have on there as well.

All of my cars for years now (always really) are sticks, the wife even prefers them. '55 IH 300U tractor (5spd), '79 Jeep wrangler (5spd), '99 Ford F350 crew cab dually 4X4 diesel (6spd), '10 Subaru outback (6sp). Way better mileage, control, and driving experience. Kinda like: sure I can shave with a throw away.......but what fun is that?

My dad taught me the basics of driving a stick when I was 16 and I had a couple more lessons over the next ten years. I was able to get by on the off chance that I needed to drive one (renting a car in Europe) but I didn't actually pick up the skill until I was driving one every day. My last two cars have been stick and the only reason that I can foresee buying an automatic is if I lose the function of one of my legs.

I had to learn to drive stick on the spot. My first car was a stick and I had no other choice. I avoided hilly areas for awhile.

Learned on a stick (1953 Chevy pickup -- no, it wasn't new but not old either) and drove sticks exclusively until 6 years when I got my close-to-dream car: a 2000 Jaguar XKR. Wish it had come with a stick but, sadly, no. Sometimes I compromise.

My wife drives a stick, it came with the broom she drives.
