STICK!
Any stick drivers ever drive an automatic and hit the "phantom clutch" while driving?
I have never had a auto as my vehicle to drive. Both of my parents have autos that I drive quite often though. Almost every time when I get in one of their vehicles I go to push the clutch in to start the engine, and when my foot doesn't hit the pedal I am trying to figure out whats wrong.
The thing I love about a stick is that it can make a real crappy slow car feel fast. When i got my first car, a 95' Ford Escort my sister had a 95' Geo Prizm (auto). Both vehicles were painfully slow, but the Ford felt so much faster to me.
I will never own a Auto car, but would be willing to drive a auto truck, as it makes it so much easier backing up trailers, although I tow with a stick now.
