It would be hilarious if someone drove a stickshift, and he got carjacked, but the thief didn't know how to drive it

I bought and sold a Mitsubishi with a stick last year. Very hard trying to sell it. Only had one call in 1 month. Luckily they bought it. Otherwise I would have been stuck with a stick.
^^^ a limited market and associated problems.
Hondas from the 2000+/- are pricey for manuals, less so for autos.

It doesn’t matter where they are from, it matters more where they are at which is right here , and they are stealing cars to be sent to markets that are ordering automatics ..
I got a Scion and they came with manual as they were trying to pretend to be sporty .
Great car but I will never get another manual
- Eats up gas as you are reving higher than automatic esp in city
- expensive to repair clutch if you wear it out through bad shifting
- on the highway the cruise control is unsafe because in an emergency
you may press brake before clutch then stall out so I never use cruise
They are not as safe as automatic because

- you get lazy and stall out
- you get lazy and dont fully stop at stop sign
That point has already been made a bunch of times in this thread. Maybe they were all by people he has on ignore. He's got a long list.It would be hilarious if someone drove a stickshift, and he got carjacked, but the thief didn't know how to drive it
To each their own, but none of this is actually an issue if you take the time to learn how to shift well. Other than a very rare brain fart causing a stall at low speeds, nothing on your list has ever happened to me in almost 20 years of driving manual.

Other than a few, very rare brain farts causing low speed stalls, none of the items on your list has ever happened to me in almost 20 years of driving stick. And I'm getting about 1 full litre per 100 kms better fuel economy than the Transport Canada rating for my car, driving in Toronto traffic.
