Vans don't have stick shifts- automatic transmission. Lever on column behind steering wheel determines park, drive, reverse, neutral. Cover is back towards & under dash- not quite where a stick would be

My van does! But I'm a continent (at least) away. But I know what you mean - that cover is way behind where the stickshift (gearstick) is.

The transmission is also called a 'gearbox' - the 'stick' is attached to the gearbox (transmission). ;)

Ok... US vans are not stick :) most Americans cannot drive a manual transmission

OT - My grandmother always said, 'If you can't drive a stick (manual transmission), you can't drive a car'!

Im sorry, OT, but BBM is that true? I learned to drive a manual at 15 and all of my older kids know how (the youngest isn't old enough to drive yet). I live in the South, so maybe its just the area, but almost every adult I know knows how to drive a stick shift.

6.98% of cars sold last year were manual... that's it

In younger drivers, only 1 out of 5 can capably drive a stick.

While we're waiting...about that rumored lingerie (discovered in the closet by Remy after LE searched the home):

Smith said his review of the computers also showed that a person using Ganesh Ramsaran’s email account had placed an online order for women’s lingerie in two different sizes. There was no mention as to who the intended recipients were of those garments.

All wrapped up in gift box...so probably a gift from Remy to Jen (and also one to ES on side). Wonder when date of purchase was? If it were ever given to Jen?

Believe he would have made a good attorney or character actor. Take your pick

is this the same lingerie he found in a box when he finally went into the bedroom closet and noticed that it was there? the same box LE allegedly skipped over?

does that mean we're un-American?

I think we were products of parents who made us learn....age and demographics come into play too.

an interesting fact; Many drivers with ADHD find that they feel less distracted by driving a car with manual (stick shift) rather than automatic transmission. The additional actions of shifting and operating the clutch help keep the hands, feet, and mind focused on the act of driving. In fact, a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) confirmed that drivers with ADHD performed better on a car simulator when driving a stick shift.
