augh im hooked...
Well a few days ago a friend and I traded cars for the day... he took my highlander and I took his 5-spd civic... when we were done with each others cars, we each had a huge grin on our faces... he got to drive an automobile with torque and I got to refine my manual skills... dang that thing was fun, I can't wait til I get a stick shift... I miss driving it so much
Any of you guys that dont know how to do manual, go learn! It's so much fun

Yeah, manual is cool. I don't really get tired of it, but it can be a pain in the ass if you're in a lot of traffic.

yah I don't think manual gets old at all. I love drivin my car cuz of it. But sittin in traffic is definitely the worst with it! I always seem to end up on some sort of incline with a person sittin like inches from my backend. I hate that!!!

manuals are the best, it gets you more involved in drivin the car, the auto takes away half the fun of drivin... dam auto

i love driving stick and will not get a automatic car, if its my only one. i would buy an automatic daily driver
and those who dont like manual in rush hour... dont buy an aftermarket clutch, my leg can get sore from daily driving, and i fear rush hour because my leg will burn if im stuck downtown or on i-drive.

With the traffic around here, and the amount of driving i'm doing; stick would just be a b!tch. I like it though and it is fun for a sports car but by no means does it make a good city car.

Stick rocks.. if your a/t you gots no control... you are not in command...
As far as city driving you get better mph with stick on highway or city... Also I had a stillen clutch in my sentra and the pedal was LIGHTER than stock. wasn't that aggressive of a clutch though.
