    Your title is Afraid to drive again and all you mentioned was that you don't like shifting leading me to believe that you can not handle it. Sorry, I assumed.

    So they pay you more because your ego is pleased because you think shifting is an accomplishment?

    As one who’s been cursed with an automatic for almost two years now, the one I drive will never be better than a manual. It’s entirely too slow, and it does what it wants to regardless of my 20+ years of experience screaming otherwise.

    as a professional, you get paid better cuz you know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.

    as a steering wheel holder, you know jack squat.

    Go run a two stick once and learn it. That’s an accomplishment.

    Except for old timers who never want to learn anything new and already think they know it all.

    I couldn't agree more. It's been about 2 years for me too and I'm still in denial. Tankers with autos should be illegal.
