I drive more or less 40 miles daily except Sunday (that’s round trip home to work) so I got economical and reliable stick-shift car as workday vehicle. :-)

Yes you do! I learned on the family car as we usually had stick shift.

I don't know if I should, I don't think about what I'm doing, but in city traffic I often find myself bringing it from 4th gear in a semicircular motion into 2nd (from the right leg of the H to the left leg of the H) when I turn a corner or don't have to come to a full stop.

Cars are soooo expensive now. I don't know what I'll do if something happens to mine. I'm real protective of it.
