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.
I agree. People want their free hand filled with a soda, not a shifter over here. Sad
If you are driving properly you don't have a free hand.
