didnt read thread, but… Well? Probably NOT the majority. I, for one, can drive stick decently. I cannot drive it “well” IMO, with regards to rev matching, road coursing, dorift monster, sequential tranny wanna-be manuevers. -edit- > [@newman](#): > > can you drive someone who normally drives a 5 speed around without them thinking “this kid sucks at driving” Then yea ---

You’ll reconsider that statement when you drive a 1000+ miles in a day frequently with a truck and a trailer. ---

I need auto for daily…35k a year just isnt fun for manual when you get stuck in traffic. Would never have an auto “fun” car…that just defeats the purpose.
