I learned on a standard and am so glad that I did. after learning how to drive stick I have driven an automatic twice and it’s not challenging or as fun. driving a standard enables you to keep more control over your car and speed. plus I love being a girl who knows how to drive a standard, and does it well. definitely worth the effort and frustration put into it. I’m also glad that if I’m put in any position where I would absolutely have to drive a stick I can. I have a standard right now and I probably will never buy an automatic.

Frannie Girl is heading off with her hubby for a few hours of relaxation.
I can’t say I’m very good at it yet, and remembering which gear to go to next is still hanging me up a bit…but I can do it. So even though I still need to improve, I can finally take this off the list

There’s something so exciting about driving a 5-speed.
Everyone should be able to!

We are picking up our new car in two days and I have driven a standard only twice in my life…20 plus years ago! My hubby used to drive a truck for a living so for him, this will be easy but teaching me may end us up in DIVORCE!

Once I finally buckled down and made myself drive my dad’s car, I was fine. I basically feel comfortable driving it, although I still prefer my mom’s automatic!
