For the first forty years of my life pretty much every vehicle I ever owned was a stick shift. I loved rowing through the gears and thought automatic transmissions were for wimps.
However, after driving an automatic for the last ten years I recently drove a friends car that had a stick shift. It really seemed like too much trouble to bother with.
I am sure the big difference is that fact that I used to drive with a lot heavier foot and loved to rev the shit out of an engine. Now I rarely drive fast at all.
I have also noticed that very few new cars even have a stick shift as an option. Anyone out there still drive one on a daily basis?
