My first (and second) cars were manual, and my next will be. There's
one aspect largely missing from the discussion, I think. When my
grandmother first rode in my car, she asked why I had bought a manual.
I explained that I'd get better milage, have more control, do better in
snow, etc. She looked at me with that look she had and said "Is it more
fun?" Yes, it was I confirmed. "Well OK then."
