With an automatic you're still able to enjoy one really sweet little coupe. Admittedly the part of becoming more involved is missing but at the same time you can enjoy a more relaxed, laid back ride. Where you live and traffic conditions also have a strong influence.

driving a stick for so long,traffic congestion is not a problem as you become used to it and take it in stride.

The only car i truly enjoyed shifting gears in was a 71 Plymouth Cuda' 383, when you floored it in 2nd gear...there was truly nothing like it. Changing gears in that thing was fun because you had the noise and you felt everything.

yes! the old muscle cars were truly thrilling to drive! tons of ''grunt" down low,and the stick made 'em come alive!
