I learned to drive on my Mom's automatic, but I always knew I wanted a manual once I got my own car. I don't dislike automatics, but driving a manual transmission is just awesome. Not to mention the "coolness" factor. Also, there's the added benefit of not having to loan your car to other people, chances are they can't drive a stick. As others have mentioned before, I sometimes feel weird driving an automatic. At times I make the motions as if I'm going to press the clutch or shift, but then I realize its an automatic. Not to mention that having to keep your foot on the brake when stopped seems like such a tedious thing to do.
