Learning to drive a stick.

[quotem=denverslim;9042602]13-year-old grandson, Rio, looking at the '66 asked "what's that third pedal for?" An hour later he was clutching and shifting out on the back roads, smiling and loving it. "Grampa, you had to be smart to drive back then, right?"[/quote]
Their was a time when 99% of cars on the road were manual, that was just part of driving. I believe that the automatic transmission is dangerous and has caused a lot of unnecessary accidents. Good on your grandson. But, you don’t have to be smart to drive a manual, just practical.
