Shoot, it was nearly 20 years ago Consumer Reports figured out that the number 1 anti-theft device available for a vehicle back then, was a manual transmission. It's only gotten better since.

I learned on a 3-on-the-tree, have used 4, 5, 6, 5+2, 5+4, 6+2, and some really odd patterns, most with syncros, a good number without, and some without a fully functional clutch, but at this point, if it can be push or roll started and runs, or key started in low gear, I can get it to go just as far as needed. The same can not be said of an automatic.

All my kids were made to learn a manual tranny, though only one of them currently use one as a daily driver, in part because so few vehicles now are equipped with them.

The last holdout finally graduated from the Super A she learned on, beyond the 5sp/mt pickup just fetching hay from the field, to a 5sp/mt vehicle road trip last week when her car was laid up. "Gee, so sorry I don't have time to fix it before you have to leave; guess you'll have to use mine." ;-)

I may put off fixing it for another week, just because I'm mean like that.
