    Took the 16 yr old to learn to drive a manual transmission today.  Hilarity ensued.

    @SGH not only a lost art but a lost buy as well.  The number of auto manufacturers (across all price points) that target the US market have all but eliminated the stick (3 pedal) as an option.

    Fresh Georgia Peaches getting some love.


    When did you get that cast iron skillet?   I saw those at the Sunshine State Eggfest.   They look great. 

    Note to the rest of the forum.  If you wanna spend some $$$, this is a great way t do it.

    That’s a good thing brother yolk. At one time, almost everyone could drive a manual. It’s sadly becoming a lost skill as of late.

    We actually had a lot of fun.  We laughed a lot. He really sucked.  As we all did the first time around.

    He always amazed he actually had to use a hand crank to lower the window.  :open_mouth:

    When I learned to drive, 30 yrs ago, I learned on a stick.  It was mandatory in my family. 
    Me too. I was 14, and it was not only my first car, but my first race car. Dad had me start in third gear. Said if I could do it from third, first would be easy...

    There’s a thought.  He had a hard time(one of many) on flat ground and when I looked over he was in 2nd.  Didn’t stall.  That was a good one. 

    The truck wa stalled more than it ran for a while.  =)

    I have taught several how to drive a stick...The first and formost rule is the brake still works the same! Cuddos to you for teaching him to drive a manual!

    Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

    The teaching experiment cuts both ways:  I am a big believer in learning on a three pedal car but sometimes owning one and knowing the kiddos can't get it out of the garage is peace-of-mind itself.  FWIW-

    I was working in a tire shop in high school 21 years ago when I encountered my first "3 on a tree" column shift. Just about drover that f'er through the building. 

    Luckily, thanks to my 87 Toyota Hilux, I knew how to drive a stick and got her stopped in time . Lol

    Not to him...   :|
     
    I guess I was lucky, learned to "shift" on a '43 Allis-Chalmers (orange, of course).  Dad then moved me up to the Ford F-100 at 13 (me, not the truck) and when I got my Babemobile Maverick at 15 I could pretty much take it from there (3-on-the-tree, RAWK!).  
    All four (EDIT:  three now) of my vehicles are manual transmission.  When my '01 Saab finally goes my next car (IF there is one) will have paddle-shifts, which makes me uneasy....

    @thetrim I've had the 12" Finex for 2 or so years.  I'm happy with the purchase. I use this skillet a lot.

    The first vehicle that I ever drove was a 1955 Studebaker 2 ton truck that my dad had put tractor tires on the back of for mud riding. And yes, it was a manual. I drove it round and round a 65 acre field
    as a kid for years.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
