D...Hi Stephanie, you're welcome for the memory. Did you ever have the problem of "clutch foot" when going from the stick to driving an automatic? I think I gave one of my aunts whiplash when I went from driving our car to driving her automatic. I could never smoothly go back and forth between the two types of vehicles. As hard as I jerked the car at one point, I'm surprised her head stayed on her neck. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-76403400509558789402012-01-30T18:30:11.408-06:002012-01-30T18:30:11.408-06:00Hi Tami,

I've since heard stick shift like you're used to, but also manual and standard. My daddy did mechanic work off and on, but it was all Greek to me. :)<br /><br />How cool that you had a purple car. My youngest would love that. Purple is her favorite color. What kind of car do you have now? We have a red Fiesta. We can't fit much into it, but most of the time it is only me and David in it, so it works and is great on gas.Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-81889492766122995882012-01-30T14:23:32.764-06:002012-01-30T14:23:32.764-06:00Yeah, we call it a stick or standard if we're ...Yeah, we call it a stick or standard if we're being classy. Not that often for that.<br /><br />I can relate to the fear of learning to drive it...especially on those hills. We had a '69 Boss 302 with a huge and heavy clutch that I learned to drive on. Oh, way back in the day. Thanks for the memory :)Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-75826418201568958672012-01-30T06:02:08.944-06:002012-01-30T06:02:08.944-06:00I never heard it called a straight drive.

It was a pain to drive in rush hours traffic though. I had to sell it in the 90's when I had the boys. Couldn't fit the car seats in my little sports car.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061237531468065806noreply@blogger.com
