The first thing my father told me before I was old enough to drive was learning to drive was a right of passage onto the road and everyone should be able to drive a stick. And that is exactly what we did. First car I drove was his old crappy beat up Nissan pickup with a manual transmission. I was proficient driving that truck before I even got behind the wheel of an automatic. I sure do love driving a stick thanks to my dad that experience! One of these days I'll get something fun to drive again, but for now the priority is the kids needs.

I have a similar story as you, but I started out with a beat up toyota pickup truck that refused to shift into 2nd.
That always sucks... i've been through that.
That is great! Its great to see the importance of knowing how to drive a manual. I feel that this generation is a much different story.
