[Question for drivers] do you drive stick or automatic?

[Splashee 28,537]

My scooter is automatic. But my previous moped was manual and it had its charm.

 

When it comes to cars, I don't have a driver's license but I can drive a stick if I am forced to. Only the start is difficult, and I don't know how to reverse with the right throttle ratio.

I drive both, technically. My Smart car is an automanual, which means I can select either option at the flick of a knob or paddle. I usually keep it in automatic though out of habit.

Automatic! 

I don't know why stick still exists. Nobody needs another thing to do while they drive.

I drive atuomatic, and I don't ever intend to get a car with a stick shift, as that just seems too annoying for me.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I have only driven automatic, stick would bring so many other factors into it that I think my head would explode from the anxiety.

 

After all, driving just an automatic gives me a lot of anxiety.

Both of my vehicles have automatic transmissions. I'm especially glad my old Ford truck has an automatic because I have no idea how to drive one with a 3 speed on the column.  

Oddly enough, I have no trouble driving a forklift with a manual transmission.

Automatic. Never driven stick and I don’t expect to ever learn.

My first car was an automatic, my ex taught me to drive stick and I was hooked. My second two cars were stick, and both have been passed on to my dad. I now drive a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, which is automatic. I would have loved to have gotten a stick shift, but I’m disabled, and driving in traffic was really bothering my hip. Every time I visit my parents though, I kick my dad out of my old car. It’s a 2009 Scion TC in Black Cherry. She a sexy beast, and I miss her. I do adore my Subaru, though. Because of the all wheel drive, turning feels so like it’s on rails, even in heavy rain. <3

I cant drive, but I'd only drive manual (stick), 

As I dont want to crash because I've fell asleep at the wheel

Yea, I don't want to have the car drive me automatically either

I drive automatic, and I don't know how to drive manual. I doubt I'll ever learn how to either, it seems so difficult!

Pretty sure I’ve never done automatic before cause I always shift the gears myself. It’s not bad but I’ve tried to drive in Park before.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

To be fair though I’m just trying to figure out the difference between the two so I may be wrong.

Does the car have three pedals or just two?

I drive automatic. My grandfather mentioned trying to teach me how to drive Manual at some point.

I drive automatic. I’ve never had a manual to begin with and was never taught how to drive one. Its one of those things I’ve always wanted to learn though. 

[Oblivion 20,265]

I drive automatic mainly because everything usually is automatic these days!

Oh geez well the newer one I drive has three and the older one doesn’t cause the emergency brake is another gear type thing.
