This displeases me greatly. I wished my parents' car was a stick shift so I can learn it. Because even when I have the money for my own car, I wouldn't be able to test drive the car I wanted. Even if I skipped the test drive, I couldn't drive it home after I bought it. To top it all off, I know a girl who can drive stick and I can't. Not good.

That is teh suck.
I suggest that you find a neighbour who has a stick car and ask him if you can try it. Or try your friends.
However, if you are like 76% of this board, you don't have friends.
Sorry, I'm not much help.

Yeah, yeah. When it's your only mode of transportation and you have a cast on your let, you're S.O.L.
But it is fun.....

Actually, I know someone who drives stick but he won't let me borrow his car. Figured I'd smash it up.
I do know what I need to do to drive a stick shift, but I just don't have anything to practice on. I wouldn't want to buy a Lotus and not be able to drive it home.
I always envision it like this: drive an auto, you only drive an auto. Drive a stick, you can drive any type of car (basically). So if I'm ever caught in a situation where I'll need to drive standard, I could do it, if I knew how!!!

Is stick really that uncommon over there (me being in europe that is)? Over here it's hard to find an automatic gear car unless you buy a new one...

It's not uncommon, but some people like to pay extra for auto.
I'll wait until I'm old before retiring from stick shift then. That is, if I ever get to learn it.

Why would you need to drive stick shift? Automatic is easier. I dont intend to learn.

disregard this old post if it isn't a joke post
realize that I was a dumb until about fall 2003 and I created this name in highschool.
this post most likely is not reflective of my true political/cultural/personal beliefs.

Stick is fun and it gives you more control. Guess that's the reason, right.

I know stick-shift and I'm a girl. Hell, I learned how to drive in stick-shift and if there's any advice out there, learn how to drive in an automatic. After that, stick-shift isn't too hard.
Learn stick-shift, there's no harm in knowing it. It's not too hard to learn if you can already drive. Just take a day to go practicing. (After you find a stick-shift car of course) As long as you understand what to do when, it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't either, and my family's extra car is a Mazda Miata (my father had a bit of a midlife crisis last year). It sucks greatly.
Amazing.

I'm learning how to drive right now. Our car is automatic. Stick sounds way too hard. I like automatic. But hey, I've only been driving 2 months.

My main reason for wanting to learn is so when I can buy a Lotus Elise I'll be able to drive it.
That and also because I like driving the car I have ('90 VW Golf) but I'm afraid of enjoying it too much because using auto feels like cheating.
