edit: noticed that sounded a bit sexist...don't intend that at all. The complete opposite really.

very good advice, forces drivers to pay much more attention I feel

34, Manual. Had to order mine too because of it but would not have gotten a car like this with auto.

24 / 6 MT... since the first day of driving

IDBMW · 04-12-2009, 07:19 AM

52 (Yesterday, April 11) 6MT.

My 2006 Tacoma is the first new vehicle I have purchased with an Auto Trans where I had a choice of Manual or Auto. I figure if I injure my leg I will still have one vehicle I can drive without a clutch. I do wish they made paddle shifters for the Tacoma, I find myself shifting it manually allot.

128i=6MT
Camaro=5MT

I've only owned 2 autos, both trucks.
