My first two vehicles were both sticks. 88 F-150 and an 89 Ranger. I love driving manual transmissions. They suck real bad in traffic. I had to drive our Firehawk (6 speed manual) home from South Dakota to MI last Memorial Day weekend through Chicago...stuck in rush hour. Let'* just say my left leg felt like jello after that 4 hour stop and go nightmare.
A manual transmission also gives you more control over the vehicle in wintery driving conditions.

I fisrt learned how to drive a stickshift by that video game that Atari had...no, not "Pole Position", but that other game...the one that actually used a clutch and gearshift. Then I got out in the real world and practiced with my dad'* old "Uncle Jessie Special"...79 Ford Pickup with a three-speed. I love driving manual shifts, and my new Maxx is a good compromise since it has tap-shift...but it aint the same.

I learned when I was 12 for crying out loud.

The pickup I use to tow my camper is a manual transmission.
