My car back in California was a Honda CRX, and I absolutely loved driving it. Automatics make it too easy to forget that safe driving requires your attention... and stick is so much more fun to drive. I really appreciate the more nuanced control I have over the car in a manual. I didn't even mind it in bad traffic - I mean, if I'm going to be inching forward at uneven intervals, I want to be paying attention so that I don't space out and rear-end the car in front of me. I think the roads would be a safer place if everybody was required to know how to drive stick in order to earn their license.
