Do you remember when you first tried driving a manual transmission? Did you make any sense of the stick shift’s geometry? Would “driving” even be an accurate word to describe what you did in that vehicle, lurching it forward in short spurts only to kill the car shortly after animating it?
If you’re as illiterate as me when it comes to piloting a manual, those few, embarrassing endeavors are likely seared in your brain. They are not fun memories.
