cars with stick shift, and I haven't driven a stick for quite some
time. I've owned them, though.

There's pull-type hand brakes on both of our cars (Civic and 328i),
and neither of them has a stick-shift.

I'll stick with "usually". Will you stick with "There's pull-type
hand brakes on both of our cars"? Are you sure?

Darn tootin'. There's all sorts of gadgets on them too.
