So you know my wife lol... Crazy thing is - I bet she'll love finally getting a stick again more than I do lol.

Living in the UK stick is the norm. Automatics dont do it for me - spoils the driving experience.
It's been a little over ten years since I've had a stick(1989 Plymouth Arrow). I miss manual transmissions and still find myself reaching for a clutch on my AT cars.
Thanks man - you know I'll just have you delete it anyway :).
I can't wait to get back to driving a stick. Being I am in KS, and well, it's not exactly hilly, or have that much traffic being there are less people in KS than a real city... this is going to be awesome lol :).
Not anymore, drove the same car with a stick for over 10 years and never went through a clutch either. We are down to one car and the SWMBO can't drive a stick. Don't miss the stick one bit especially in city traffic. Nice thing about getting older is you really don't feel the need to prove you have balls all the time.

I learned to drive on a stick and was hooked for life. Whenever I drive my fiance's car I'm constantly trying to press a clutch that's not there and it freaks me out a little bit when I go for it and my left foot just keeps going without touching anything lol.
I voted yes because I can and have driven/owned many a car/truck with a standard transmission. I like 'em. If they still made a ford e series van with a manual I'd have one. I've been driving this van for 11 years but ..... like I said, I can drive a stick.
LOL - I got to go to the Bob school of life! The older I get... the more I seemingly need to prove I still have balls :). Even with my 3 and 2 year old lol!
Back in my city days I recall being stuck on a hill for 20 min behind a conga line of traffic. It was hell and my left leg was shaking once I got up that hill. I had to pull into a Tim Horton's and get a little sugar/coffee thing going on while my leg calmed down lol.
Hilly city driving with a stick can get old... but then there's those Saturday at 3am rides that make up for it :).
