Just something about driving a manual thats more "fun" for me than simply pressing on the gas and going.. Living in Arizona its also nice to pick the gears to downshift to properly so I don't have to sit on my brakes when going down mountains, or the ease of going into neutral and coasting when you want to.

i wanted a stick and ended up with an auto. you might loose a little more in the trans but i shift it myself all the time. and when the shift kit gets here i should shift just as hard as a stick. all i can say is im happy, its nice to not have to shift sometimes (Like when you just went to the drive thru)

Sorry but where's the fun in putting it in D with the little circle around it and pressing one pedal?

However gay it sounds a car is NOT a toy, they want to make these things easy as cake to drive so your buddy with under 100iq can drive one but then winds up killing somebody cuz he wasnt paying any attention. Not only do standard trannys give you more control over the vehicle they keep you on your toes.
