I just started taking driving lessons - I'm driving a manual shift car, like everybody else in my country because it's how you get your drivers license. I did quite a few KM, I start on shift 1 and a few seconds later I need to step the clutch and shift to 2 immediately - I never got to shift to 3 because I'm only 2 lessons in, and we're taking it slowly. Driving is fun, not as hard as it looks.
How do automatics work? Do you have to ever shift at all? Is there a third pedal like the clutch or is it just the accelerator and brake? Did you take drivers license with an automatic or manual? BTW, the car I'm using is a ford, dunno the model, and it's diesel.
I'll probably buy a manual car when I get my drivers license, pretty much 80% of cars sold are manual, come cheaper and generally fuel in Europe is so expensive that it's easier to come a across a fuel efficient car that is manual. Why do some parts of the world like the US and Canada prefer automatic, and why?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
