Born in 83. Learned off a manual.
Not all millennials are phaggots. Edit also 20 is most likely gen z. But still funny you saw the joke in real life. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Born in 83. Learned off a manual. Not all millennials are phaggots. Edit also 20 is most likely gen z. But still funny you saw the joke in real life. I think people confuse the term with Gen Z and later. Millennials are old now. (40+) I'm right at that line between Gen X and Millennials. My first car in the late 90's was a stick and I remember my pops teaching me to drive it in a parking lot when I was 16. Regardless; the vast majority of people in the US can't drive a manual transmission. The kid I sold my old truck to, he was 19.....He was the only person I've ever taught to drive stick with no drama. Took him to a parking lot...explained to him what physically happens in the transmission when he's pressing the pedal. Drama free. I think he stalled it once. |

Quoted: These days people joke about a manual gear box being a good form of theft protection for younger generations. I just experienced that at this small detailing shop who is giving my M2 and good wash after driving across the state. The kid doing it, can't be older than 20, jumped in my car to back it into his garage and then jumped right back out and asked me to do. Said he didn't feel comfortable with a manual. Just thought it was funny experiencing the joke in real life. Just be happy the kid was honest with you, and didn't fuck up your car trying to wing it. |

Yeah most cars these days are automatic. I know how to drive stick, but I'm an old millennial at 40. A 20 year old is actually a Gen Z kid. The only reason I know stick is because my parents taught me. But nobody drives stick anymore unless they are just really into cars. My dad has a WWII Jeep and yeah it's stick, ha

I don’t know why old people think it’s some giant accomplishment to drive a manual. If I had to drive a manual I would just look up how to do it on YouTube and then 90 seconds later have it figured out.

Meh. It’s not very hard to figure out, but I’ve only driven a couple manuals and that was probably 15 years ago. Still regularly ride a motorcycle so I’m very familiar with the concepts involved. There just aren’t very many manual vehicles around anymore to where it would be intuitive for me.
I wouldn’t want to back up an unfamiliar manual vehicle in a confined area. Just not worth the risk of damaging someone’s property. |

In my 40s and actually know a lot more guys my age who can't drive a manual than girls.
Girls in HS always had little econocars which were usually manual back then, so it makes sense. This thread reminds me that I need to teach my niece and nephew how to drive a manual. |

Both the family cars growing up were manuals so thats what I got to learn on. Rowing through the gears is still fun sometimes but automatics are muuuuuch easier for commuting.
Funny timing on this thread. My wife was just telling me she wants me to teach the kids to drive a stick. But our cars are automatics. May be time to pick up a 90’s manual car and teach them to fix stuff as well. Eta born in 86, pretty sure im a millenial |

I've driven sticks my whole life. I've owned 6 or 7 different sticks. I just enjoy them.
There is nothing remotely difficult about driving them. The only thing that takes practice is pulling out on a hill. That's it. |
