Okay there are some idiots that don't know how to drive a stick, it still doesn't make it rocket science. You push a pedal, change gears and let the pedal out, big deal.

Okay, I forgot the fun of a little gas and clutch. I enjoy feeling the car accelerate down a straight, hearing the tires scream as it pulls Gs in the turns and trying to brake from 130-30 to make a hairpin but if playing with a stick does it for you, who am I to judge?!

Having a MT doesn't prevent you from doing any of that AND you get to play with your stick. WIN-WIN

Auto in the 370Z for her. Manual in the 300ZX TT for me. Everyone wins.
