In college, my roommate and I bought a beat up Datsun to drive up to college from Miami to Philadelphia. That trip is where I really learned how to drive stick. During the semester, some friends asked to borrow it so they could go buy beer for a party they were throwing. We didn’t think to ask if any of them knew how to drive manual. We figured if they were asking, someone did. Turns out they didn’t! But this thing was a tank, so no harm done. We only kept it for a year anyway.Manual cars are too intimate to allow other people to drive them.
