  I got a new car yesterday! For all you poor yokels out there who have never driven a stick - get one! I learned a stick on an old beat-up truck that was hardly thrilling to ride; and adventure maybe, but not thrilling.
If I had known what fun it is to drive a manual, I think all my previous vehicles would have been stick too! I didn't even get a 'hotrod' of a car, just a small Kia! But since I wasted the first 8 years of my driving life on automatics, it's time to make up for lost time!
