Given a choice, I would prefer driving a manual.

However, I have my car for the next 20+ years and it isn't a manual, so by the time I'm ready to look for my next car I'm sure manual vehicles will be hard to come by.

My parents made me learn on stick shift, which was a terrible idea because the stick shift at the local driver's ed office was a little gutless shitbox that had zero clutch as a result of being abused to hell and back by every new driver in the city. Seriously, the friction point on that thing was like a millimetre. I would end every lesson discouraged, go back and practice on my Dad's truck (torquey little Toyota Tacoma that would still go if you popped the clutch; I wound up routinely starting it in 2nd countless times while I was learning and barely noticed when it happened), build my confidence up, head to my next lesson, then stall three times getting out of the parking lot.

I had no objection to learning how to drive stick, but not while I was *also* learning the nuances of basic driving. Anyways, I took 10 lessons on it, took my test on an automatic, passed, and I have literally never even had the opportunity to drive stick again in my life.

I wouldn't mind learning how to drive stick shift but now that I'm working in the city, I see no reason for it
