I have driven automatic vehicles most of my life..except for about 2 years when I was newly married. One manual transmission car was all we had so that is what I drove, in fact my ex taught me how to drive a manual. He was a very patient teacher. However, he later accused me of burning out the clutch in the vehicle which cost a lot of money to fix..so since time I have stuck to automatics. It is good to know I could drive a manual in case of emergency though! My riding lawn mower has a manual transmission too, but is a bit different than a car of course. Do you prefer manual or automatic transmissions?

Yeah, I think there are more of them in Europe. I am not sure what the percentage is here, but I would guess there are more automatics. Most seem to prefer them.

@snowy22315 In Europe only the 15% of the drivers have an automatic car.

When I was younger I drove one, but I'm not sure if I could handle it anymore. It's very nerve wrecking.

I learned how to drive on a car that was manual but I prefer driving an automatic.

I learned a couple years ago in the parking lot. Wasn’t good and didn’t like it so I never tried again. Automatic all the way!

I prefer automatic. Manuals sometifmes slide backward a bit on a hill which can be a little scary.
