How many of you drive stick?

I voted both:)
No, not because of my wealth, but because I have two cars, one with a stick, the other with a Hybrid knob-thingy..
There are good things to be said for the stick shift.
Driving in snow and ice, it is a definite plus in my book, but with practice most anything works really

I was kind of joking about the wealth thing... but if you did have two cars just for yourself, one could consider that wealth :). It sure would make me happy lol.

I/we got one of each, I've been driving a stick for 15 years, but the car I drive most now is the one with auto transmission, SWMBO doesn't like driving it, she thinks it's too big and heavy....

Hilly driving with a stick in the city never bothered me. I just used the parking brake till it was time to move on instead of riding the clutch. Much easier on the leg and clutch. One of the few useful things I learned when I got my military drivers license, DND 404.

Learned on a manual, and have never owned anything else. I'm used to hearing people say "I don't know how to drive manual," and I like to joke with them and say "I don't know how to drive automatic."

Sometimes I take the wifes car out and bang through the gears, but 99 percent of the time its my automatic truck. I would like a semi automatic truck next.

I like it better, I feel more at one with the car. Both mine and my wife's car are stickshift. Also, if your battery goes dead you can push it...

Manual transmission is a requisite when I buy vehicles.
