I'm Mr. Mom... got the tan Toyota mini-van going on, automatic transmission... *sigh*

The Bugatti is out of my range, but maybe one day I'll own another mustang like the one I had back in the day... except this time, I want it to be a cream colored convertible with a red interior. :headbang:
 
Manual for the city, automatic for the road.

BTW, i like rear traction better.
 
I have an automatic - the first I've ever owned .. but I couldn't find a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo in 5-speed so I had to settle... oh well, bygones ... she's pretty though, and that's all that counts :)
 
1985 BMW 318i.

Pulled it out of a junkyard and have been putting it back together.

5 speed manual. I love driving this car.

 
i drive stick but autos aren't that popular in the uk.

i like the control of a stick-shift, responsiveness, added engine-braking using revs etc.

i'm not sure i would enjoy driving an auto as much, especially in the back-roads :D

rsd?

I drove a stick for 6 years, loved it. Then the head gasket blew and I had to get a used car and could only find automatics. Well, at least it's green. :D

wonder how much would you use the puter otherwise :confuse3:
 
my cousin had surgery after having bad carpal tunnel, says its made a massive difference.
 
Stick. Shifting gears and pressing clutch is what makes the pleasure in driving. I wouldn't want it otherwise.
 
I have driven auto's and stick shift ( manual ) and prefer the manual - prety much for all the same reasons as ris said.
Also in the UK if you take a driving test in an auto you are not allowed to drive a stick shift untill you have done a different test in a car with a stick shift.
Probably the best compromise is what one of my relatives has - a car with both shifts - it's basicaly an auto that you drive as an auto, but you can put it in to 'sequential mode' so you get a touring car type manual shift.
