  Imagine being overwhelmed by driving stick.

  Yeah but not because it’s manual transmission, but because it would cost $50 worth of gas just to go down the street half a block.

  I’d walk because that old thing is a safety nightmare. (I’ve driven multiple different types of stickshift cars, bikes, tractors, and more; I think that part is not an issue)

    after buying a stick shift… the issue isn’t that stick shift is unsafe, it’s all the slam foot on gas to go drivers that are unsafe… driving when there’s clear obstacles in the way, or being so lazy and casual with driving that you face in glued to your phone…

    that doesn’t happen with stick… those drivers are MUCH better drivers… in fact, I’d argue they actually drive. automatic occupants, nah… foot down - go and screw everyone else

      I completely agree with this statement. Well said.

  That 1->2 upshift is always a tough one to do quick

    It doesn’t feel like as natural of an arm movement as a floor shifter IMO. Feels awkward.
