Of 'my' 7 cars I've owned and driven, 6 of them have been sticks - including the one I drive now and the previous 3. I generally keep my vehicles a long time. In the past 28 years I've had 3-Toyota 4WD trucks (2-pickups, 1-4Runner) and all have been 4-cylinder sticks.
I don't know how many different vehicles my wife had before we were married, but since then she's had 5-vehicles with 2 being sticks and 3 automatics including her current RAV 4.
Automatics are easier, I suppose, but I'm so used to a stick that I don't think about it much when I'm driving.
Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.
