When I learned how to drive, my only option was a manual transmission. I remember getting caught on a hill on the way to a homecoming dance with my date in the passenger seat and my friend and his date in the back. That wasn't fun, but now I love driving a manual transmission.
Occasionally, a passenger in my car will ask me how I know when to change gears without a tachometer. You listen to the engine, of course. They always seem surprised by that. My parents' car has an automatic transmission and a tachometer. Why?
