Who are you kidding? Today, very few know how to drive even a regular stick shift. Try finding a new car with an old school manual. Very few models left. Sad.

I love driving a stick shift. Did so for many years... about 23 years, I think.

I learned on a WW2 Willy's Jeep when I was 12. While most cars in the driveway are autos now, I still have the Barracuda with it's iconic Hurst Pistol Grip 4-speed. There is something theraputic about running a muscle car up through the gears on a road with little traffic... Something Gen X-Y-Z doesn't understand.

The post was poking fun at them...

Likewise... very satisfying to perfectly execute a heel-toe rev-matched downshift. Even most stick-shift drivers don't know how to do that, though.

People who drive a stick shift (WITH manual clutch) are safer drivers, IMO. You MUST always pay attention to road speed and engine speed and have less opportunity to be distracted. :) (or are better at multi-tasking than most. ;) )

When my kids were getting their permits/licenses, I said to them "If you want to drive any of my cars, you must learn how to drive a stick." And they did because they had an excellent teacher (me). They still drive the 5-speed Jettas they got as their first cars. I drive a 6-speed GLI.

Too bad they outlawed pistol grip shifters in California.

Normally I would ask WHY such a thing would be outlawed. But the question answers itself when you stipulate CALIFORNIA. Such a beautiful... and gawd-awful state.

But I wouldn't be opposed to outlawing that fake wood paneling in the car! LOL!

It is meant as a "joke"--ie: pistol grip firearms being outlawed... ;)

It is sad that the CA voters agreed to give the rest of the country cancer... :( (ie: Prop 65)

Ah! LOL! Shit... it's actually believable since it was CA.
