Northeast USA, 41 years old at the time (50 now), previous car to current one was a manual Honda Civic because it was what we could afford. My husband took me to a parking lot to show me the basics on a Saturday (he’d learned to drive on a stick shift), then off I went to work that Monday.

NGL. first month I cried a lot because I stalled out often, especially between first and second gear. After a while, though, I grew to love the control–especially in winter conditions–and that I could now drive any car. Eventually, the transmission burnt out, and we got a hybrid C-Max, which is nice, fuel-efficient, but I would drive another manual again if given the opportunity.

I recommend subscribing to the Cats community–high volume of posts to break up the feed wall of the Pissed-Off Cheeto.

I was soooo skeptical when they advertised this Buffy episode first-run (yes, I’m old), but it was so well done and moving! I’m hoping SNW can also pull it off.
