Learned on my buddy’s '99 Civic Si and my first manual car I owned was my K20 swapped EG 4dr. Have had various manual Civics, a Chevy Cavalier, mid-90’s F-150, and now my '94 ITR swapped coupe. ---

I learned on my '93 S10. I didnt want a standard at all but I liked the truck so I bought it and then had to learn how to drive it. My mom was the one that taught me how to drive it because my dad didnt have enough patience. I love driving standards but unfortunately they dont make many fullsize trucks with them anymore so I had to get an automatic. ---

Learned on a B16 swapped EF hatch. Unfortunately, it also had a Clutchmasters Stage 5, unsprung, 4-puck clutch in it. Oh, and an 8lb flywheel. All I could think was “FML.” This is the reason I tend to bounce revs when starting off… Just an old habit. First standard car I had was my first car, 92 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. Of the eight cars I’ve owned so far, only one was auto, and it was a hand-me-down from my mom. ---

To me a manual is alot more fun but sometimes its just nice to turn the key and shift it into drive and not have to worry about shifting it. I had my Mustang converted from an auto to a 5 speed because I hated the auto in it. ---
