How shameful is it to not know how to drive stick shift/be bad

It doesn't matter at all.

The only people that care are faggots that have no other skill which the majority of people do not also have and they need to feel special.

If you don't feel like learning how to drive standard it matters about as much as no learning how to knit. You can go to the fucking store and buy clothes and you can drive an automatic and your life will go on all the same.

>freedom citizens who think driving stick is some fucking passage way into cool car guy culture
Dont fall for it. Grandmas on the other side of the world drive stick.

Automatics are better just like electric toothbrushes are better

it is a fact that those who are good at driving manual transmission are better lovers in bed than those who are not

Only Europeans and teenagers care.

It's not a hard skill to learn and it doesn't make you any better than someone else.
I've been driving stick since my first car when I was 17. I just bought my first auto two years ago and can't believe what I was missing.

For god sakes. If any you have a Facebook memify this quote and spread it like a disease on naive car groups.

Not always, old autos tend to be rigorous gas guzzlers.

if you're an enthusiast, or like to have full control of your acceleration, it's great.
if you just drive to get to where you need to be, then there's no reason to bother with it. I've only owned stick shift cars, because I like it but i can easily see the utility in automatics.

Yes, if you ever admit to being unable to drive a manual, you will likely be shamed for it. It's shitty but that's the way people are. The convenience vs control debate always breeds elitism on both sides.

You have to be pretty retarded to insist on performing a task a computer will do just as well, if not better. Realistically, no one will give a shit.
