Learned automatic then later manual out of necessity and this is just nuts to me. People enjoy that? Driving is already fairly obnoxious just getting around traffic and the extra tedium of having to shift gears at every stop and go was awful. This has to be some kind of Stockholm syndrome or nostalgia or something
My attention drifts too much when I drive auto, I prefer the extra thinking and functions that manual driving needs.
For those with a similar view on the subject, keep in mind motorcycles are still almost exclusively manual shift in North America, so when stick shift is basically dead, there is somewhere to go, technically.
I cycle to work from time to time, even tough I own a (manual) car.
It takes longer to go by bike, I get sweaty, it might rain in the afternoon but I still take the bike over the car. Because it’s fun. (Even more then driving a manual.)
