And if you know how to drive a manual, you might as well buy a car with a manual, it's better gas mileage (why hasn't the green police focused on more manuals vs. automatics? is it because none of them know how to drive a stick?), costs less in original price, and in order to drive a stick you're mentally required to be more focused on driving and it makes you more aware of what you're doing in my opinion.
As my primary vehicle is a stick and I seldom drive anything else, it's always weird when I get into an automatic because when I go to turn the ignition I stop for a second because my left foot is telling me "I should be doing something".
