 For all those who drive automatic..

This is my Grandma's car.. I actually learned how to drive on that but in the last 7 years my grandma's let it go. She doesn't drive around now so it just gets rusty. It still works though.. unbelievable I know!

I'm not sure about the editing.. maybe the lighter bits are too harsh. I've been comparing it with other sepia pictures and this doesn't look too good in a DPC way. I still like it though.

I think this photo is flipped... the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car :)

Is there some way to emphasize the stick shift and fade the rest?

Great gritty shot. Really trashed up car. And someone swapped the steering wheel to the wrong side :-)

...i learned to drive on a stick shift about 5 months ago. They're miserable :[ I like how the shot gives emphasis to only the inside of the car

Forgotten? 80 % of cars here have it. Good shot nevertheless.

The composition does not draw attention to the stick shift. There are many other things in the photo and one's eyes are drawn straight to the dash board. A close-up and interesting angle of the stick itself could have worked better.
