my LAST car was a manual transmission. In the 80's, about 1/3 of all US cars had manual transmissions. Now it's 7.7%. I prefer a stick, but due to my trick knee, driving one for long periods of time can get tiring.Silly americans and their view of auto as standard :-P
Stick isn't hard, it's the way a car is meant to be driven.
On the other hand, damnit, I want that camaro :-P
