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?

I own two five speeds.

I enjoy driving them more than automatics and the engines last longer.
