Don't want to hijack the thread but, had friends who insisted their daughter's drive stick. Then they could never be stranded anywhere by an inability to drive a car - and in college much much less chance of someone borrowing the car. My daughter will drive stick for the same reason.

Yup, it is a real pisser when the designated driver only realizes at the end of the night that he can't drive everyone home because he can't drive a manual shift. Actually, I think he was just messing with a bunch of obnoxious drunks because everyone made it home ... just a little "shaken" from the jerky starts.
 
There was one other aspect that I completely missed: The feeling you get when you fix something right. It might take you two or three shots to get it right, but when you do, the "Wow, look what I did" feeling never gets old.
