HE has retained his personal integrity throughout, you can tell he has stayed true to who is is, and has found a wage from it sheerly by being an amazing, intelligent, polite, anal retentive, and humbling human.

    I like manual transmissions because if you have a problem like a dead battery, you can push them off. For example, I had a dead cell in my battery and couldn't get a new one till the next day. I needed diapers for my son. So I pulled up in front of the store on a slight grade. Got the diapers and sure enough, it wouldn't start. So I put it in neutral. Got it rolling. Hopped in put it in second gear. Let the clutch out. Jerk jerk jerk and it started. Went home and my son was quite happy to have a fresh nappy.

    I always advice anyone about to get their licence, to learn how to drive a manual, and get that licence. Especially young people. It's easy to imagine, if you've not driven cars much and don't have a licence, that you'll use your family's automatic and buy auto once you get your own can, and that's that. But in reality, we usually end up driving a lot of different cars over the years, many of which are not our own, and we don't get to choose whether or not those are automatics or manual. It may even be a requirement for a job at a later point, that you don't realize/imagine now.
    So even if you don't intend to _own_ a manal, I strongly advice to learn how to drive one, and don't get a limited licence. You don't know what kind of car use, requirements, needs, relationship you might have a year or two further down the line. Learning manual and getting a manual licence, leaves your options wide open. It is also much preferrable to learn to operate a manual, while you're learning the rest of operating a car. It's really not hard, and when the time come and you need to drive a manual, it will be a natural part of driving, rather than an intrusive and distracting "new" element. You'll basically be a safer driver when doing it.
    IMO it's one of those "better to have and not need" things, although at some point you're all but guaranteed to need this one.
