Your never too old to learn something...lol...
I have always done it this way.

Been driving sticks since I was 8 years old. Easier to turn the key and then reach down with your wimpy foot and push until something happens.

I have always done it this way, not becuase I was particularly smart. Because it was the only way I could do it.

So at 12, even though I was bigger, I was apparently to old to learn a NEW way
Been doing it wrong ever since.

Real trucks have dually wheels, manual transmissions, and say Cummins on the side.
