I am wondering why so many people think a 35 yr old man not wanting to drive is weird?

snowmom asked:


I have a son who chooses not to drive a car, first because of all the expence, second the responsibility and lastly he really doesn’t want to. He has a slight learning disability he is a hard worker and does well if he can learn his position in his way of learning. At the moment he is unemployed and finding it difficult to find a job, so many want you to have a valid drivers license. He endures a lot of guff and ridicule for choosing not to drive, which I think is unfair. I respect him for knowing his limitations and making sure he isn’t going to harm others, wrongly by driving just to stop the GUFF.

how hard is it to learn to drive a 5-speed standard transmission?

john_2k69 asked:

Okay I’ve been driving for almost a year now, and to be honest.. I suppose I’m getting “bored” of driving an automatic, since I just needed to be comfortable behind the wheel when I first got my license and now that is all accomplished, I want to fully learn how to drive a standard transmission. I’ve kinda tried it a couple of times in my friend’s car, and the ones that really get me is when I need to park and yielding + left turns in traffic. any tips from you pros?

Should I rent a car when I go to Ireland?

jonny q man asked:

Going to Ireland for the first time in late August - early September for 10 days and 10 nights. I’ve heard driving is the way to go. Problem is, however, I don’t know how to drive a stick and sticks are $600+ cheaper to rent than autos. However, I’ve got nothing to do throughout the month of August, so I could learn how to drive a stick during that time. Thus, this is basically a two-part question:

1) Is it reasonable to expect to spend only a couple weeks or so learning to drive a stick sufficiently to NOT make a total ass out of myself in Ireland, or cause a serious accident?

2) If getting a stick would be stupid, should I pay the $800 it would cost for the duration of the trip to get an automatic rental car rather than doing the bus/train thing?

Seems like there are some great parts of Ireland where a car is absolutely preferable… I keep waffling on what to do, and could use some advice.

i need help learning to drive a manual trans?

EpicRacer asked:


ok so im 18 and i am buying a car with a stick. there is no compromise- i want stick. my dad just bought a saturn ion with stick and im learning with that. i will eventually get a 240sx (if insurance doesnt kill me)\

so, i can shift fine- i learned a lot from videogames- so i know when to shift, clutch down, where the gears are at all that good stuff. what im having trouble with is if i stop the car heading up a hill, i cant get it going again [smoothly]. i either spin tires or stall the engine.

whats the proper technique for this?

please help! the sooner i get this the sooner i can drive it myself!!
