Manual Shifting, A Dying Technology

[talnlnky]

When you can push start an automatic.... and you can shift it just like a manual, without any lag... then i'll consider an automatic.

My first car was an 86jeep, I decided my 2nd would be an auto (mazda 626), and after driving the mazda for a year I decided I would never buy a manual again because it's annoying on hills, and when you want to drive sporty, and more importantly, it was too easy to fall asleep at the wheel. It was hard for me to stay awake in that car. Something about having to moving two feet and the stick keeps a driver awake.
