I regret getting the stick shift, but my wife, who chose and ordered it, wanted it that way. For just pure long-term enjoyment, the auto is the way to go, in my opinion.
Another consideration can be the finance status of the car. If you're upside down on it, the insurance company will go to great lengths to keep you in it so you don't have to put out a slug of money to the finance company.
As a trucker with several million miles of safe driving, I have said for years that when many of these drivers have an accident and are taken away in the ambulance unconscious, they are as aware as they were before the accident. And you would not believe what I see people doing in their cars as...
