In the world of cars different people have different agendas, everyone has different things they want in a car, different objectives in the features they want, and different things they hold dear in their car. One statue that many people hold dear to is their form of transmission; standard or automatic. Standard transmission (or: manual, stick shift, clutch) is the form of transmission in which the driver of the vehicle must change the gears manually using a clutch (a pedal which puts the car in neutral and allows the gears to be shifted) and a stick, usually in the median of the car but sometimes it may be on the steering column itself, that will change the gears. Automatic transmission is when the gears change without any effort of the driver or conductor. The amazing thing is that so many people are buying automatics and not realizing that stick shifts are so much better.
