Same here! I like the shtick. It makes for good coordination. Auto=left foot falling asleep. Interesting sidenote: www.howstuffworks.com says that the torque converter on an auto will produce more torque from a dead stop than a standard. I don't know if that's true, but it might be.

What if you were playing basketball and you broke your ankle? How would you drive your car?

That happend to me last year and I had to drive home in my 1993 Nissan Altima
and the clutch was hard as hell. It was very painful trying to shift with a badly
sprained ankle. That's one day I wished I had an auto, but other than that
stick for life. Or until I get old and can't shift anymore.
I dont understand why some of you 16 year olds are getting automatics because your parents bought them for you. I for one am 14, going on 15 and am already lookin at a car, it may not be legal for me to drive but i can convince my mom to let me drive alone after i buy the car and need to get it home. My mom would never ever buy me a car without having me drive it first and get what i want. Manual is the way to go for me. I love bein able to feel the car and actually control it besides just putting it in drive and going. Plus with manual, on long trips you dont get bored, you can always downshift and put the rev's up really high to wake you up! lol, anyway, manual for me!
me = drunk= auto
me= big city = lots traffic = bad knee= auto
and mainly
me = lazy = auto ... i like stick but not for adaily driver ... my knee cant take it ... it got caved in when i was sparring when i was younger and likes to act up when i drive a stick for a long time

main reason is exactly people like you... whoo need to worry about HOW DO DRIVE.. not shifting gears.... most people dont get a manual for their first car cause its more important to pay attention to the road and other cars then shifting gears.
