I've been driving manual all my life but still need to pay attention:

My Healey is 4 speed with elect OD

My 930 Porsche is 5 speed

My GT2 Porsche is a 6 speed

So, it takes a few minutes of adjustment to jump from one to the other;

I bought a new car in 2023 about the middle of the year due to a rear =
end collision of my perfectly running 2012 Honda Accord Coupe.  I bought =
a Mazda 3 Hatchback Premium edition because it was one of the few cars =
you could buy with a manual 6 speed transmission.  Most of the cars on =
the market today are CVT transmissions (no soul) except for high end =
performance models and high priced sports cars.  My three British cars =
all, of course, are stick shift.  My late Accord was a 5 speed manual =
transmission.  The only vehicle I have owned in the last 40 years that =
was an automatic was a 2000 Ford F150 I bought new.  The only reason for =
that was you couldn't get a manual transmission in Fords trucks with V8 =
engines and gas powered.  Not sure about the diesel trucks.  Manual =
transmissions serve well as Millennal anti theft devices better than any =
expensive electronic unit.

an automatic to drive a manual. Before that unless you took your =

roads amongst the cranberry bogs to practice my skills.

I learned on  a stick. Then spent 30 years on a slush box (as we called =
automatic transmissions in my day) then bought my Healey. Started it up =

lesson. Fortunately, I lived in the country and lots of back roads =
amongst the cranberry bogs to practice my =
skills.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p style=3D'margin-left:4.8pt'><span =
