Me either, unless one counts the cars I legally owned for my son who refused to learn to drive a manual transmission car.

Many years ago I thought I might get an automatic to make things easier for my wife, but she test drove one and hated it. Even my daughter took her test in a manual and as little as she drove until she flew the nest, she drove a manual.

I'm on my third Camry five-speed, and sometimes miss my little MGB.

Never owned an auto either, likely never will. Just got to keep my little WRX wagon running until I croak....

I have NEVER owned an automatic.

My latest vehicle, a Kia Sportage, is the first automatic I've ever owned. The arthritis in my knees, hips, and lower back forced me out of the low slung Toyota Corollas I've owned since 1990.

In bad weather, I really miss the clutch and being able to choose my own gear.
