Also the myth that MT prevents/reduces theft is anecdotal at best with no data to back it up other than "5% of new cars sold are MT" or whatever the number is this year. If someone can learn how to bypass a lock and break the ignition lock or whatever they probably took the time to figure out how to operate the extra pedal and stick.

Also: quickly looked up Hertz rental cars in America (as generic as I could think of) and it looks like the offer other a lot of cars that would be a hoot, also went to check out rates, looks like I could get a Corvette for less than $90/day or a Camaro SS, Challenger R/T, or Mustang GT, not exactly 'lowest trim' although it looks like the entire fleet is AT, can't win all the battles.
Edit: looks like Alamo offers MT rentals although nothing exciting, I wouldn't mind playing around in a MT Yaris or Focus.
