If I ever have children, I’m teaching them on stick so they don’t have to go through the nightmare of learning automatic and them changing over. I love driving stick now (plus it’s cheaper on insurance, cheaper to purchase, and you can push start your car in a pinch), but the when I was first learning I got so frustrated with my dad I cried. I wanted to take my new car back to the dealership- it sucked. It just takes a lot of practice & persistance- you can do it!!!
