A good one; of course in the UK, they don't have the quantity of car thieve=
s we do in the States. So the advantage of the manual at least here in the =
States is that few thieves know how to drive a stick.  Maybe we stick owner=
s should get an insurance discount ?

In the UK, if you take and pass(!) your test in an automatic you are =
only licenced to drive an automatic. If you pass in a stick shift, you =
are licenced for both. Is that the same all over?

No; in the 'States you can take/pass the drivers' test in an automatic 
and still drive stick (at least in California). I tried to convince my 
son to take his test in my BJ8, but he took the easy route in his 4-cyl 
Cherokee with a 5-speed stick.

Even for those otherwise competent with a manual gearbox--I prefer that 
to 'transmission;' my Dad cringed when I called one a 'tranny' and these 
days that could be confusing, I suppose--how many have mastered 'double 
declutching?'  I always did that on a downshift in Dad's '46 Chevy 
2-ton--and the Model As I learned to drive on--but it wasn't until the 
day I sold it* that I realized you needed to double-clutch on an upshift 
from 2nd to 3rd; I'd always tried to get the perfect speed match but 
usually failed.

I sold it to a local petroleum wholesaler who we'd bought fuel from for 
decades. His father had offered to buy it years ago for $5K; he'd since 
died but his son was running the business. I stopped by to see if he was 
interested--it wasn't getting the TLC it deserved though I did use it 
for farm duties on occasion--and told him about his dad's offer and that 
I'd honor that. He looked at the truck and said: "It's worth more than 
that; I'll give you $7,500 ... no, I'll give you $10,000!" I'm not much 
of a negotiator, but I did good on that one ;) Dad said whenever he took 
it to Lowe's there would always be a lady or two admiring it in the 
parking lot; it got more compliments than even his '65 Mustang or '55 
T-Bird (Healeys don't seem to turn heads as much as they used to).

    I sold it to a local petroleum wholesaler who we'd bought fuel from
    for decades. His father had offered to buy it years ago for $5K;
    he'd since died but his son was running the business. I stopped by
    to see if he was interested--it wasn't getting the TLC it deserved
    though I did use it for farm duties on occasion--and told him about
    his dad's offer and that I'd honor that. He looked at the truck and
    said: "It's worth more than that; I'll give you $7,500 ... no, I'll
    give you $10,000!" I'm not much of a negotiator, but I did good on
    that one ;) Dad said whenever he took it to Lowe's there would
    always be a lady or two admiring it in the parking lot; it got more
    compliments than even his '65 Mustang or '55 T-Bird (Healeys don't
    seem to turn heads as much as they used to).<br>

I grew up in Massachusetts and when I was getting my driver's license in
1966 the law had just changed to allow drivers who got their license on an
automatic to drive a manual. Before that unless you took your driver's test
on a manual, you couldn't drive one. In 1967, I bought my cousin's bugeye
(frogeye) and she gave me about a half-hour manual driving lesson.
Fortunately, I lived in the country and lots of back roads amongst the
cranberry bogs to practice my skills.

I bought a new car in 2023 about the middle of the year due to a rear end
collision of my perfectly running 2012 Honda Accord Coupe.  I bought a
Mazda 3 Hatchback Premium edition because it was one of the few cars you
could buy with a manual 6 speed transmission.  Most of the cars on the
market today are CVT transmissions (no soul) except for high end
performance models and high priced sports cars.  My three British cars all,
of course, are stick shift.  My late Accord was a 5 speed manual
transmission.  The only vehicle I have owned in the last 40 years that was
an automatic was a 2000 Ford F150 I bought new.  The only reason for that
was you couldn't get a manual transmission in Fords trucks with V8 engines
and gas powered.  Not sure about the diesel trucks.  Manual transmissions
serve well as Millennal anti theft devices better than any expensive
electronic unit.

I learned on=C2=A0 a stick. Then spent 30 years on a slush box (as we calle=

My greatest =E2=80=9Cmanual challenge=E2=80=9D, was on bikes, going from =
my Honda VR1000R (now sold), with a =E2=80=9Cone down, 5 up=E2=80=9D =
shift pattern with the shifter on the left and rear brake on the right, =
to my old Velocettes and BSAs, which were =E2=80=9Cone up, three =
down=E2=80=9D pattern with shifter on the right and rear brake on the =
left.  Many a time I braced myself for an up shift and ended up lurching =
forward as I hit the rear brake.

I bought a new car in 2023 about the middle of the year due to a rear =
end collision of my perfectly running 2012 Honda Accord Coupe.  I bought =
a Mazda 3 Hatchback Premium edition because it was one of the few cars =
you could buy with a manual 6 speed transmission.  Most of the cars on =
the market today are CVT transmissions (no soul) except for high end =
performance models and high priced sports cars.  My three British cars =
all, of course, are stick shift.  My late Accord was a 5 speed manual =
transmission.  The only vehicle I have owned in the last 40 years that =
was an automatic was a 2000 Ford F150 I bought new.  The only reason for =
that was you couldn't get a manual transmission in Fords trucks with V8 =
engines and gas powered.  Not sure about the diesel trucks.  Manual =
transmissions serve well as Millennal anti theft devices better than any =
expensive electronic unit.

I grew up in Massachusetts and when I was getting my driver's license in =
1966 the law had just changed to allow drivers who got their license on =
an automatic to drive a manual. Before that unless you took your =
driver's test on a manual, you couldn't drive one. In 1967, I bought my =
cousin's bugeye (frogeye) and she gave me about a half-hour manual =
driving lesson. Fortunately, I lived in the country and lots of back =
roads amongst the cranberry bogs to practice my skills.

In a UK based regiment so we had RHD vehicles, mostly =C2=BE ton =
landrovers and 4 ton Bedfords. The wartime role for which we trained was =
up on the West/East German border. So=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6when we =
went over to Germany, we took all our RHDs and picked up approx. the =
same number of our allocated =E2=80=9CWar Store=E2=80=9D vehicles, all =
of which were LHD. I was in charge of our squadron=E2=80=99s vehicles. =
So=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6.after, say, a good lunch one went out and =
grabbed a vehicle. Whichever one it was, it always seemed to have the =
wheel in the wrong place. Certainly different from the one that one used =
in the morning. Confusing. Surprised that we didn=E2=80=99t have more =
accidents.

I was a guest once of a cavalry regt. In Germany. They were fresh out =
from England. Cut a long story short=E2=80=A6.at a t-junction there was =
an almighty cock-up with a Mercedes caught between 3 tanks. Front, rear =
and passenger=E2=80=99s side. All in slow motion on ice. Car was about =
2ft shorter at each end and along the side. Driver was too shaken to =
make much of a fuss. Tanks completely undamaged!

Learned to drive and got my first driver's license in San Francisco in my f=
ather's 1936 Nash (I think. I remember that it had two spark plugs per cyli=
nder) Need to learn about roll-back? That's the place to do it. No automati=
c transmission back then. The other thing I remember was that when my fathe=
r did get a car with automatic transmission, he failed his license renewal.=
 He used his left foot on the brake during the driving test. When he went b=
ack for his second try, he held his left trouser leg with his left hand so =
he would not make the same mistake.
