Learned to do hill starts in a 66 Catalina with a 3 on the tree. Talk about roll back.
My car at this time is an auto it was my fathers car. My wife's car is a 5 speed. If i were going out to buy a car I would be looking for a stick. Always liked the feeling of control especially when coming down a mountain road.
