I picked it up because I heard girls had a thing for guys who drive stick. Then I just had to fall for a series of (smokin' hot) European women, none of whom are at all impressed by my common "skill"
In reality, it was the same cost to learn stick as auto, so my parents signed me up for lessons on manual transmission cars
. I had to learn, in the middle of a Northern winter, how to drive stick
. Hill starts were, uh, something else alright
