In case you suck at math…

Percentage of manual cars = # manual cars owned / total # of cars owned \* 100%

i have owned 9 manual cars, 15 total.

that’s 60%

1/4.  
Probably wouldn’t again, using a left foot is too much effort. Especially since most new performance auto’s are faster than their manual counterparts.

That car doesn’t count, it never happened.

Chevy Celebrity  
S-10  
BMW Z3 Coupe  
Ducatti Monster 1000 - Better than a car  
Del Sol  
R6 - Also better than a car.  
325E  
Dodge spirit - Worst Experience of my life.  
Toyota Camry  
Suzuki GS850 - Not much better than a car.
