Learned to drive 3 on the tree.Drove over the road for years(15 speed).Have 66 Vette with stick.
Do not want to open this debate again.Now days with the modern transmissions if you want to go fast you get AT.You want to have fun you get a stick.

But considering the extremely small migrant populations of Denmark, Norway, and Finland, calling them collectively Scandinavistan reeks of the sort of misinformation I usually hear from Faux News.

And yes, I'm of Swedish heritage.

Next car was a Chrysler Windsor with 'Fluiddrive'... it had 3 pedals and you could column shift it (3 on the tree) or you could drive it like an automatic... really strange, but handy when one hand was full....
