You mean every vehicle in your current arsenal? Or since you first started driving?

BTW: You should have attached a poll.

I only use the clutch and stick when I am driving the car that has them. It's nice to have one car with each.

Got this (MT) and the lexus, but that's auto. In many ways it's nice to have an auto as a second car.

Is CASH your selected acronym because you saved it when ordering the 6MT?

Yes, that's because not only did we save cash but also a life of driving boredom if we had chosen a DCT!

I have a little robot installed in my car that presses the clutch and shifts the gear when I am having a cheeseburger or talking on the cell phone.

Used to be me till I had to buy a 2010 Tundra with no manual transmission option:

1990 Chevy S10 5 Speed Manual
1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24 5 Speed Manual
1992 Honda Civic 5 Speed Manual
2004 Nissan 350Z 6 Speed Manual
2006 Nissan Frontier 6 Speed Manual
2004 BMW M3 6 Speed Manual
2009 BMW M3 6 Speed Manual
2010 Tundra 6 Speed Automatic (FAIL)
2009 Chevy Corvette Z06 6 Speed Manual

You just can't get full size trucks with manuals easily anymore, and the automatic is better for towing.

But I notice you didn't have the balls to use PencilGeek for your example. Well, I guess he does have a manual M3, while I only have a manual 335i.

I am and have been for about eight of the ten years I've been driving. However, I'm int he market for a used Z71 Tahoe and that certainly won't be a manual. Enough driving the M3 to ranches/hunting trips/louisiana.

That's because Burt's so old now and he has arthritis in his knees and can't use a clutch anymore. I feel so bad for him.
