I hate stick shifts and, born and raised and living in the eu, I have always driven automatic. The interesting comments I get ‘for not being a man’ (as an almost 2m, 100kg hairy bloke) in different countries, is always perplexing. And that’s over the past 30 years since I have been driving. Especially brits think (and say) I am a total wanker for not driving stick. But the dutch (my birth country) have similar emotions.
