RE: Do you know how to drive a manual?
Learned manual transmission operation on dirt bikes first (at 10 years old), then my brother taught me on his Vega (oil burner) - had several sticks since.
Bought a brand new Conquest TSI /5 speed in 87 - taught my Fiance (now wife) in 1 hour how to drive a stick - learn or no wheels.
Currently teaching kids manual on dirt bike - lots of clutchless options, but their experiencing the full nut.
Prefer manual on the Challenger - thats one reason I'm ok if I don't get an 08 auto and wait 3 months for a manual 09.
