Can you drive stick?
Shift, that is. Not that one, perv.
Yea, I probably drive a stick-shift too...

Checkin, checkin, checkin again...

Should just call me Polls Voice (OH GOD PUN)...

Anyways, yes I can...it's the only thing I've ever driven in terms of my own vehicles. I also like driving trucks because of the viewpoint/angle in comparison to a car.

Nope. Never tried, really, so I highly doubt that I could.

So yea. Currently no. I have never driven stick.

I'm bad enough at driving an automatic...I don't need a friggin' stick diverting my already-limited attention from the road.

It's true. They're better at overall speed control as well.

I have enough problems not going white-knuckled while driving, much less keeping enough attention to tell when I need to shift.

I can kind of drive, but I just do not really.. and I do not own any car. The only car that I did drive had automatic I think...because I did not have to touch the stick except to park it? ._. I don't know what the difference is, are stick cars better?

Stick-shift meaning manual/standard transmission...not automatic in terms of setting just PARK, DRIVE (over), and REVERSE to normally operate a car. So you have to have the knowledge of learning how to use a clutch on the far left in tune with changing gears and hitting the gas at the right time.

The best test of this is going from a stop on an upwards incline on a hill to 1st/2nd gear.

Generally, they're better on a vehicle to have over an automatic...especially when it comes to transmissions. You'll see a lot of people even convert an automatic TO a manual for this reason.

I could do it on a quad (as those require manual shifting), but definitely not on a car. Yeah.

I can't drive. My vision is considered legally blind so I'll never be allowed to. (I can see well enough for internet and movies and whatnot, though.)

I can't drive (yet), but given that I'll have to take the driving test in a stick drive car anyway it's more than likely I'll just stick with it.

I don't drive now, and I don't think I ever will. I'm moving soon, and I'll be right near everything I need, and I'll be on disability once I turn eighteen. Hooray for the medical system in Canada!

Also, walking is good excersize. I can't pilot any vehicle, lest it's in a video game. =D
