yeah...I learned to drive in my dad's old MG...british racing green...ahhhh...

and every car I've had since is manual...but the auto transmissions are so good now that sometimes they are even MORE fuel efficient. And sitting on the highway...inching along with a stick is getting old...

I might have to go for auto next time....but I've said that before.

I think they are also getting more rare (sticks)...in passenger vehicles anyway.
