Re: Driver's license revisited
Going back in time to what Xantar said:
Yes, stick shift drivers are better. People that think just pushing a gas or brake pedal and turning a wheel makes them a driver are silly people indeed. Just try that in NASCAR. Not only are manual people more aware of conditions in their own car their driving at the time (manual or auto), they know sounds and feelings better than auto-only drivers.
The real difference, however, is that they have to divert a lot of their learning from learning to drive in itself to also learn about shifting. In this way, they are forced to become more adept at simply driving to become skilled with the manual transmission. Also, when you are driving with manual, you have to pay attention to what you are doing. I'm afraid that most people that drive automatics get highly complacent while driving sometimes and it is very scary. Manual transmission drivers have to have much more of their attention on driving more often.

Re: Driver's license revisited
Update: Since responding to the poll in this thread, I have learned how to drive a stick shift.

Re: Driver's license revisited
For a poll that asks if you have a License, its leaving the "No" option out.

Re: Driver's license revisited
Muwahaha, old thread, I love those. 
I don't have my license yet. No time, no money. When I get it, I go for a manual. 99% of the cars here are manual...

Re: Driver's license revisited
We Americans have to do everything different, even cars. There are so many automatics for all those lazy people in my country that it's sad.
Anybody watch the Amazing Race a couple weeks ago? Anyways, the chick team had 2 people that didn't know how to drive stick, and all the vehicles in the countries were manual. It was hilarious watching her struggle and cry and be like "oh, why can't i get it to work?!?!" Anyways, they lost that leg of the race because it took so long for them to get moving.
That alone should be reason enough to learn how to wield the stick.
