I taught myself how to drive manual on the first car I ever bought myself. It was a 1983 Mazda RX-7 and it didn't run when I bought it. Towed it home, got it running and just tinkered with it in the back yard and alley until it was tagged, then went onto the streets. I wouldn't own an automatic until I bought my Thunderbird last year. At one point, our entire household was manual cars with two New Edge GTs and a 2012 Fiesta. I've taught my girlfriends to drive manual as well and they all enjoyed it. Hell I was stuck in horrific traffic because of an accident on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge(took 9 1/2 hours to travel 14 miles) in my girlfriend at the time's Kia Sephia which was a manual with no cruise control. It sucked major balls but I still bought and drove manuals since then. If I had to commute everyday in stop and go traffic, I'd buy an auto commuter car and leave the toys with proper manuals.
