Automatic--I have never learned how to drive a manual. When I was younger, a boy I dated tried to teach me how to shift the gears in his car, but I did not do it very well, and I didn't even have to worry about the clutch. Plus I am always doing something else besides just driving when I am in the car (smoking-cigarettes, texting, drinking-soda, talking on the phone) so it probably wouldn't be very good for me to try to shift gears too.
