I've got the opposite problem - learned to drive a manual and tried driving Kendall's automatic, having never driven one before. Fifteen minutes was enough - he got tired of saying "take your foot off the goddamned brake!" Added to being the wrong side of the car and the wrong side of the road......

I've now got my Social Security number so can apply for a driving licence - he's looking for a manual car for me and maybe I'll go out with someone else to practice driving the automatic.
