Stick shift
의미: A manual transmission car that requires the driver to shift gears using a stick-mounted lever and clutch pedal.
Stick shifts have become rare in America — fewer than 3% of new cars sold have manual transmissions. Knowing how to drive stick has gone from a basic skill to a party trick. Older generations are baffled that younger drivers can't do it, while younger drivers wonder why anyone would choose extra work.
