In Britain everyone drives "stick" here. Only people who can't drive used automatics. lol
Like literally my driving instructor told me that if someone can't handle driving properly he puts them into the auto. And also if you pass in a auto you can't drive a normal car.
But rather obviously you can pass in a manual and drive an auto. |

Don't be some jealous fag. Drivers that drive stick are usually better drivers. They pay more attention to what they are doing, the things on the road, their surroundings, etc. |

| Driving stick is just a lot more involving, and in some ways entertaining. It feels a lot more like you're driving. |

It takes more mentally to drive a stick than it does an auto, and therefore requires some intelligence to drive unlike an auto. You have to pay attention to what you are doing, what gear you are in depending on what you are approaching, what speed you are going, if you will be slowing down, rev matching (if applicable), down shifting, engine braking, etc. |

I think I'm at the point where I don't even really have to think about that stuff, I just naturally do it. :p
I had to learn how to drive a stick the day I got my permit, and I'm really happy I did. |

No doubt you don't consciously think about it, but you are constantly thinking about it, even if it is a natural motion. I am the same way, as all of my own cars have been stick. I hate auto. It is mind numbingly boring to drive, and I don't drive them as well. |
