[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1908347, member: 7157"] I fail to see the logic behind this. While I'm an aficionado of driving vehicles with a manual transmission - my daily driver has always had one - the fact remains that less than 7% of all vehicles sold today have a manual transmission. That percentage has been low since the 1980s when it was around 30%; with today's computerized technology, there really is no [B]practical[/B] reason for driving a stick shift under ordinary conditions. Now I'm not talking of using the clutch to rock a CJ-5 out of a deep rut on the Rubicon Trail - just plain, everyday driving. Many people today who are safe, responsible drivers are going to have an automatic tranny - does that fact mean they should not be driving? I don't get it. [/QUOTE]
