Two fails at learning a stick
#11
I really think the reason I want to get is a stick because it seems like that is what im supposed to do when you have a camaro. I might have got one already but like torque is good said they are really hard to find. When i have found them they were pretty beat up like (E-Brake not working, exhaust failing off) so i had to pass. Maybe im to young to appreciate the stick but Im really starting to lean toward a auto.

Stick is a young person thing, the real question is how do you drive? If its like your on a track 24 7 then get a stick and learn if you dont and need hands for other things, texting, talking and eating then get an auto.

All boils down to personal opinion and feel. I keep the auto for trucks, jeeps, and vans. I personally love driving manual not only my camaro but any car. Similar to what Davescamaro93 said I feel more in control of the car, when you need to downshift you can, upshift you can, this can be really fun on curvy roads, and I feel a safety when having to slowdown quickly because I'm not just relying on my brakes (can be a life saver in snowy/rainy situations) I also like the fact that if you need to there is always the option to jump start.

Both of our 'maros are auto and its what I personally prefer. My husband had a 86 manual camaro years ago and I never could leave the yard in it. It stalled every darn time. Now when we were first dating a friend of mine taught me to drive my husbands car. He had a ford escort and at the time it was brand new, I think a 91/92 or so. Anyway, it told you when to shift which I found funny but anyway, I learned it in an hour. I guess its just the difference in cars.
When we first married we had an S10 that was manual and had it about 3 years I think. We traded it for an auto. It was too hard to eat and drive!
