My first car was a hand-me-down Nova. It was kinda sporty, but an automatic. I needed cheap-and-reliable when I first bought a car and ended up with another automatic, a boring Corolla. The next three cars I bought for myself were all manual.

These days I rarely drive Monday-Friday, so I enjoy getting in the car on weekends, and the stick is definitely part of the appeal.
