A memory cropped up today from years ago.
My car had to have some repairs done and I was offered a car to use for a few days, by the garage. I was so grateful until I realised it was an automatic. I totally flipped out as I am used to driving a manual. I did not feel confident having to adjust to an automatic whilst finding my way out of a large city. The guys in the garage could not understand it as usually it is the other way around.
Call me insane, but automatics DO take adjusting to after being used to a manual. Having to learn how to drive one, esp in a city is not ideal in my view. Sure they are easier to drive when you get used to them but having to adapt instantly is not something I felt confident about. I stand by my justification for tantrum. Time to let go of that memory... forever.
