Only an idiot would choose manual for the rest of their lives.

They are not considering things like driving when older, the frusturations of heavy city traffic for years and years, the possibilty of losing your left leg or braking your foot..

Manual might be a fun gimmick, but its not worth the years of grief it will bring you later in life.

That was years ago. Now they just like to turn it on and let it satisfy them automatically.

I know I could have worded that correctly to be funny :eek:

I'm a girl and I pick manual! I hated it until I learned to drive it, now it's the best and I live in Orlando too, which is filled with idiot tourist drivers.

I used to be religious about having to have a standard transmission. But now...

I would rather have a standard transmission if my car has a small engine.

If my car has a large powerful engine then I am fine with automatic.

My wife prefers manuals too. I've got friends and coworkers that are absolutely jealous that my wife can actually manage to manipulate the shifter and the clutch at the same time. :Q I guess they all hooked up with primadonnas who can't be bothered. <shrugs>

Auto, only becuase when I get really old, it'll be a lot harder to drive a manual. Otherwise, manual all the way :D

Auto, much more fun. Don't think I could hack nor having to change gears/use the cluth, you get used to it and it becomes automatic :p

Manual - it's the only thing I like about my truck. And besides, once I'm old enough that driving a manual is a problem, I'll have a chauffeur :p

I wanna be like Carroll Shelby, Rod Millen and lots of other old guys still racing... manual.

Besides, they'll have mass-produced clutchless manuals by the time I'm older so my left foot won't be doing anything anywho, paddle shifters! And I drive in heavy city traffic with my manual now... you get used to it.
