I learned first on a dirt bike (13). I didn’t drive a stick until I was 19 for a delivery job but it was trial by fire at that point. I had to drive a stick to work my shift.
I drove one later, 25-32. It was fine, I don’t miss stop and go traffic with a stick shift.

I wanted in my heart of hearts to get a manual version of my car (a mini) but i talked myself out of it after getting stuck in a traffic jam for 2 hours in a rental. The automatic still has paddle shifters so you can kind of drive it like a manual.
- kqr 4y agoI like stop and go with manual, any time it's not a strong uphill. Somehow I find it easier to go in and out of neutral, as well as going directly to second, with the stick. I guess it technically should be possible with an automatic too, though.
