I ordered a manual. I'm 58 and in the back of my mind I'm thinking there might come a time when I may not be able to drive a manual anymore. If that time comes I'll worry about it then. Since I'll be autocrossing and tracking the car the automatic just won't cut it. I learned how to drive a stick in Drivers Ed on a new 69 Impala with a 3 on the tree. Back in 79 I bought my wife a new RX7 and taught here how to drive a stick. Trust me, if she could learn anyone can. My first car was a 68 Plymouth GTX 440 4 speed. Now there is a car where you had to have a bionic leg to press the clutch in. Present day cars are much better.
