So I'm guessing that you've never lived anywhere with serious traffic.

I'm from Dallas-Ft. Worth and spent my fair share of time stuck in traffic. Then I made that horrible commute up 95 for 5 years. I still live off downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach which is pretty much bumper to bumper particularly since I live off the main drags.

My next car will still be a stick.

I don't mind a stick,I drove a tractor trailer for a bit,then after driving it all day I'd get in my automatic pick up....it wwas a relief to be in an automatci,especially after unloading appliances all day.

I don't like a standard in the winter though...Shifting when it's cold...not for me...

My mom taught me most of the basics. Then my dad taught me to drive and LOVE standard. I still drive stick to this day.
With your recent professed appreciation of porn, this doesn't surprise me in the least. Smiley

I don't get why that makes a difference at all. Actually, you should want to shift gears because movements helps generate heat.

^^ but the gear shifter is usually is like an ice cube,and never really warms up...So then I have to wear a Glove,or gloves when I drive...and I hate that....It's like being cold them grabbing an ice cube...It's always been my experience with stick in the winter.

I don't know why anyone would want to drive a stick in bumper-to-bumper traffic.  It's incredibly annoying and tedious.

I never even think about it. If traffics that heavy, you just hang in 1 or 2.  I even drove stick when I was a driver for my dad delivering stuff around down town Miami all day.
