Hagerty: We’re on a mission to get more people shifting gear

There’s nothing like driving a stick shift – feeling the gears change, connecting with the car and the road – and we’re on a mission to get more people experiencing that excitement.

It all starts on National Stick Shift Day (July 16). We’ll be kicking off the day at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI, celebrating 10 years of the Hagerty Driving Experience (our program designed to teach young drivers how to operate a vehicle with a manual transmission)!

You can take part no matter where you are, anytime from July 16 – Sept. 3 - here's how:

Spend an hour with someone who doesn't know how to drive a manual - a family member, a friend or neighbor - and give them a lesson (see the attached 'manual manual' as a reference guide)

Reply to this post with a photo from the experience (Photo attaching tutorial here)

We’ll follow up with you directly for your address so we can send you two of our '3 Pedals, No Problem' hats from The Shop

Thank you for joining the fun - Never Stop Driving!
