I have had an MGA, Fiat 850 Spider, 2 VW Beatles, Mercedes 220 Diesel, Datsun Kingcab Diesel, Willies (Jeep) Pickup truck all with manual transmissions.
Nowadays, a vehicle with a manual transmission is almost theft proof. Most of the thugs stealing cars and trucks never learned to drive a standard.

Mine were a MGA (had a crank start), two Spitfires, an English Ford Cortina GT (my favorite), a Dodge Coronet with three on the column, a '58 Olds, a VW bug and a VW 'square -back sedan'.
Once at a light on Sunrise Highway in my Coronet I was getting ready to race off the red with some guy who pulled up next to me. The car had three on the column and I had been driving nothing but four on the floor cars. When the light changed I tore out....full speed....backwards.
