Default People that drive manual trannies

Dont you just hate it when after you drive your manual and then sit behind the wheel of an auto how your foot starts looking for the clutch. I swear it gets me every single time.

My left foot gets very twitchy if I drive a friend's auto. It'll reflexively press on an invisible clutch while my fingers get nervous without being able to shift. It's just not right, feels abnormal after driving stick for a couple years.

Back in my high school days, i was riding with a buddy of mine that drove stick all the time and he was driving around in his mom's minivan auto and decided to 'race' somebody (don't ask) so he floors it and then slams on the brake thinking he had to shift. What a dumb story.

Don't you Auto guys hate it when you drive your Auto for so long and then get behind the wheel of a stick and don't know how to drive it? j/k

When I drive my Dad's Tundra I always reach for an imaginary Shift **** too. (Auto's on the column). I found a cure for this, put a 20 oz. Dr. Pepper(yes it has to be DP) and put it in the cupholder and pretend to shift.

And that brake pedal on the Autos is a huge ****. I can't stick my foot down there without hitting it.
