Peter, most people outside the US PREFER manual transmission!

And many of us in the US also prefer manual transmission. Automatic transmissions are for wimps and retards.

Maybe both of you are still riding around with a macho image.

I also used to say I preferred manual transmissions, but 3 of my last 4 Corvettes were automatics, and my new (used) SL500 has an automatic transmission.

In recent years, I came to my senses have replaced the need for a manual transmission with the need for a great sound system with a multi-disk CD changer! Listening gives me much more pleasure than shifting, and I get around just fine.
