Out dated cars have this ridiculous thing called a clutch. In the
dark ages drivers would have to start their cars with a crank handle,
manually advance the ignition timing and (if you can believe it)
manually change gears, I know it sounds crazy in this day and age but
it's true.

I've only ever driven manual cars with the exception of one automatic
that also had hand controls - I found the hand controls easier to use
than the pedals because my left foot kept trying to use the brake as a
clutch.Â* I expect I could unlearn this behaviour given time, if I had
to, but in the meantime it's actually easier for me to handle the gears
and clutch myself.


I drive both auto and manual almost every day and it becomes second
nature to use the correct feet/pedal.Â* Driving auto often needs you to
use left foot braking when parking/manouevering.Â* In city/congested
traffic, driving an auto allows you to concentrate on the road a little
more and reduces effort a lot in stop/start traffic.

I agree with all of that.
