I've only had a couple of auto's in my life.
When I was younger all my cars and trucks were standard.
It takes me about 1 3/4 to 2 hours each way going to work and back, after 20 years of doing it with a standard, it got OLD (at least an hour each way in stop and go traffic).
My daily driver is an 05 sunfire and then my wife drives the truck.
My jeep is just a week end plaything.
