I have had this CRV for about 10 months and I still tend to rest my hand
on the shift lever. I have had a number of cars with automatic
transmissions and I drove a lot of cars, pickups and vans with
automatics, but I have also had several manual transmission cars and
pickup trucks. I guess I get my shift fix from the motorcycle.
