Summer times comin and nothing can be more fun then driving stick in summer... lol
I have no idea... i think that a lot of people think that stick is cool and most of the ppl who are trading in know nothing about cars and just want to have a stick because they hear ppl say they're faster. Chances are they cant drive worth ISH and they're gonna be slower than when they had auto.

I love driving a manual. I just don't think that an automatic is a good choice for a car that has such little hp. You really need the manual to get everything out of the engine. I mean, there's like a full second difference in performance times. Anyhow, autos are nice at times too.

I knew how to drive a manual for a year now and i always drive my friends integra. I taught him how to drive a manual and launch his car actually. I traded my Automatic DX cause i never wanted an auto...it was because if my mom. But i had a chance to get more car and a 5 speed for the same price, so i made the move up to a 02 LX 5 Speed. So far i am loving it. manual is much more fun to drive around in.
