Thread: How many of you drive stick?

Was reading this article, Top ten: Reasons Real Men Drive Stick- Top10: Reasons Real Men Drive Stick - AskMen


I loved this paragraph.

"You’ll never see a real man commit any of the driving atrocities mentioned above, because real men drive cars with manual transmissions. Real men understand that cars need three pedals, otherwise the vehicle is nothing more than a fancy golf cart. Men understand that driving is a skill, and that the best way to master this skill is to maintain absolute control of all aspects of a car at all times. If you think it’s better to let the car tell you what to do, you may as well turn in your testicles so that they don’t get in the way of your marathon sessions of watching The View."



Anyway - it got me to thinking that well... real men shave with straights, or DE's too . Driving stick and traditional shaving would seemingly go hand in hand. Is that the case? Vote on the pole and then tell us why you do or don't.

Just so you know - my car died last week - the only thing I am putting my foot down with, on my new buy is... I have to have stick !

Thanks man - you know I'll just have you delete it anyway .

I can't wait to get back to driving a stick. Being I am in KS, and well, it's not exactly hilly, or have that much traffic being there are less people in KS than a real city... this is going to be awesome lol .

I don't drive/use/operate one on a regular basis any more. After 3 MILLION miles of running junk with 4spds, 5spds ( with and w/o a "working 4th & 5th" you're quite welcome to try to figure that mess out on your own), 6spds, and on up through 18spds on a single stick, and virtually every combination of 2 stick transmissions ( the Brown-Lipe trannies in the old Macks are sweet shifting SOB's, but I was always fond of Dana-Spicer's 6X4 with double overdrives and double underdrives) known to man, I don't care if EVER have to shove a clutch in as long as I live.

FYI, 6x4=24 forward gears and 4 reverses.

GREAT sport in stop and go traffic. LOL

GIT SOME!
