GoodBye To Stick Shift
By ahmil | October 26th, 2008I had mentioned that I used to drive a stick shift. I also know that the number of stick shift cars are diminishing.
With the advance in development, the new automatics actually are more fuel efficient and can switch faster than the manuals. I can believe that with everything being computer controlled. Sure some of the sport’s car makers said they will always have manual shift. But if they are the only ones left, what difference does it make for common folk like myself. I can’t afford them sports cars!!!
Even though I had the link to the article where I quoted above, here’s the title of the article about “The End of Manual Labor? The stick-shift is a fast-fading icon” and Lawrence Ulrich is one luck guy to get to drive some of these great sports cars. So jealous!
You mean there is no reason to drive a stick shift anymore unless I have a sport car? The superior feeling of being able to drive a stick shift is gone? I am a bit sad to hear that but I guess we have to move on. We have digital clock all over our house anyway

More like if you want to drive a stick shift, you will have to buy one of those expensive sports car. Yeah, we still talked about my old stick shift CRV. Wish I hadn’t traded it in!
