I was born with manual transmission fluid in my blood. A blend of Western European and Middle Eastern bloodlines, D for Drive was never in my vocabulary. Raised in suburban NY, standing in between the front seats of VWs, Saabs, and a Toyota station wagon, stick shift was all that I knew (watch the elbow). As I continue to enjoy driving stick, it gets harder and harder to find new cars with manual transmissions (and I am not talking about SMG transmissions which are just glorified automatics – I am talking about 3 pedals).
I am dedicating this website to aiding and assisting those with my addiction – the need to utilize both feet and know what gear we are in.
