I do know how to drive a stick, but I’ve never owned a manual transmission vehicle.

To be honest, the thought of dealing with all that shifting while fighting NYC/Long Island traffic made my head hurt. It just never seemed appropriate to have one. Now, if I lived in the country (please God, let it be one day soon) I might reconsider. Until then...it’s automatics for me.

Regards,

PS: I am confident I would have been able to drive the stolen car out of the lot. If I were the criminal type (which I am not).

I love manual transmissions for that feeling of being involved with the total driving experience. My last one, however, gave me a left leg three times the size of my right, as hitting that clutch in stop/go long distance commuter traffic three hours per day was just too much.
