re: #56 Cannadian Club Akbar

People using automatics depend to much on the braking system. People who drive standards use the gearing.

I know, I slow down a lot just by down-shifting. The only part where sticks are annoying are in stop and go traffic, just because you have to keep engaging and disengaging the clutch.

As to the “woman” question, just about every other woman I know doesn’t know how to drive stick and WON’T learn (cough cough girlfriend cough).
