Which is in North America, if I remember my geography. I'm not sure. We brushed over Canada fairly quickly.

My dad gave me a scare when he was looking at new Subaru Outbacks back in April. He was thinking about getting a manual transmission because it would save a few bucks on the monthly payment.
I can understand why some people would want the control, but IMO that's just for professional racecar drivers. And racecar driver wannabes.
I just want to point the car in the direction I want to go in, push the gas pedal, and GO!
Congrats on the new car, Omega. I know I'm getting to the stage where I'll have to buy one in a year or so.

Grrr.
You automatic freaks should all take trains. Or buses. Leave cars to people who can appreciate the finer qualities of driving a stick. It's an art.

Perhaps, but I'm not going to be driving on some windy mountain road or racing across the desert, or cruising on the beach. I'm just commuting to classes, and going to work.
And I live in Delaware, where suburbia meets traffic jams. Almost everywhere. Driving a stick shift in traffic would not be my idea of fun. And riding a stick shift in traffic would not only be suicidal, but probably painful as well.
But then, you're the one with the fascination for sticks in your cars.

Indeed. "Oh, I need a manual transmission car to cope with my HIGHLY DEXTERITOUS driving route of the road from my house to my place of work."
It's like Jeff and his all-terrain Jeep that he worried about driving over train lines.
Idiots.

Idiots are those who pretend to "drive" a Corvette yet let a system of vastly overrated hydraulics handle all the fun. What a poiseurs.

So you don't believe in power steering then, either?
