When did everyone learn to drive stick?
^^^ Just like the topic says. I learned about a year ago when I was about 15 and a half. The reason Im asking is because it seems like only about 10-15% of the people at my highschool can drive stick, so Im jw when everyone else learned.

Pretty much amazing

I would have been 15 the first time, in my grandpa's 1989 Jeep TJ the most beasty sounding I-6 out there for some reason. Never really caught on until later that fall (Picked up learner's permit)
As for that percentage you noticed 99civic03, same at my schoool except it's about 10% for my grade (150 students) and maybe the same for the rest of the school. It's pretty bad.

I learned when i was 13, on a 92 Accord, just driving around the neighborhood. Took awhile to get it, but it all of a sudden just clicked, and I love stick. After giving the 92 to a family member, I received a 93 SE (auto) when i was 15. I drove that for a year, and now im back into a manual (6-Spd!), and i love it.

When my dad bought my first car I told him to make sure that it is a 5-speed that way if I don't drive a stick then I don't drive. I made myself learn. All the cars at our house was a 5-speed.
