Having to think about which gear you should be in keeps you think about what you are doing, encourages you to keep making decisions, as opposed to just sticking it in drive.


I take the attitude that I know full well how to use a clutch and stir a gearshift lever around (in a night of snow plowing I'll probably do that upwards of 400 times) and I don't feel that I have to prove that to myself or anybody else a couple dozen times driving to work every day.

For my daily driver, I'll take an automatic, thank you very much! \:\)
