Only driving automatics for medical reasons.

I started out at 16 with a manual. I worked as a pizza delivery with an 87 S10.

I'm looking to try to have then accommodate me for a few months until I have a 3rd surgery on it.

There is this advantage to a manual transmission.

How the does someone not know how to operate a manual transmission. I get being rusty or not good but to be completely clueless?

Sounds like a boring childhood to me. No dirt bikes, motorcycles, or cool cars

I was driving tractors around at age 8. One was a 1929 John Deere.Using chainsaws at 12.

I don't know why people are making this a big deal, the company isn't buying any more manuals all the new package cars and tractors are automatics. I work in a pretty big bldg (200+ routes) and most of our package cars are automatics at this point. In 5 years or so that's probably all we will have.

And in 5 years we will have all of your manual transmissions at our building...

Over half the routes in our building are still running 20-22 year old p7's.
