I had only driven that old truck for a couple years when a friend of mine with a little Toyota stick offered to let me drive (had a huge crush on her, but she never operated my stick, sigh). I remember thinking, “holy shit, this is so easy. Bought my own stick shift a year later, learned how to shift that fucker with just the right rpms.I learned on the ultimate piece of shit, a 1976 AMC Hornet Sportabout with 3 on the tree. Decades later my nephew was showing off his new car, an Audi A4, and he was taking me around. He cheekily offered to let me drive, thinking I'd be totally lost. I did stall once as I hadn't driven stick in twenty or so years, but it all came back to me and I made that car sing. My nephew looked at me with awe and respect.
