Manual transmissions... ever try to explain that to people today...

most people, that is, those that have never driven a stick. Whenever I attempt to explain it, even to my grandsons, they assume it to be a 'hassle'... work, and when I try to tell them it really isn't... it's quite easy, I get eye rolls.

When I bought my Jag here a few year's back I tried to get a stick.... they do exist but they are rare. None came up anywhere near me when I searched.... I gave it up.

Now I'm getting ready to lose the Jag, (don't regret it at all other than the repair bills)... and yup, once again a 'stick' is my choice... but I don't have a lot of hope in finding one... or at least finding one in the model of car I would like to get.

This is debatable, I admit, but I believe you have more control with a stick. I'm convinced of it. - JamesJM
