I wouldn’t let my kids get their licenses when they turned 16 unless they drove a stick. I insist on driving one myself. It keeps me alert, gives me better control over the car, and gets better gas mileage.

Same here. Both my son and daughter learned on a stick and are quite good at it. I have never owned anything but a stick shift; trucks, Jeeps, etc.
