You can't learn if you don't try,

It ain't rocket science.

From this side of the pond it's all very humorous on how scared / lazy or whatever people over there are to having automatics over manuals.

It's little wonder those who can drive a manual car (a normal car) hold themselves in a fighter pilot aloofness.


How do you know there is a manual car driver in the bar?

He tells you



I actually don't know anyone that can only drive an automatic, pretty much everyone I know learned to drive in a manual and owns one. Mainly big diesels or 3.0l cars are automatics.
