They don't teach how to drive a stick in Driver's Ed, so you have to either a) buy one and learn as you go or b) have a nice friend / family member who is wiling to listen to the crunching gears in order to learn how to drive one. I took route a), since my parents wouldn't let me anywhere near their cars. I had no idea that six months later I'd be moving from one of the flattest parts of the country to one of the most hilly. I'm pretty sure that I'm not a lesbian, though I can't imagine going back to automatic. One of the things that might prevent me from getting a hybrid vehicle is that I'm pretty sure that they're all automatic.
