Ten years ago, I was single, owned a truck and two cars, all of which were manuals. I liked them. A lot.
Nine years ago I got married (again). My wife preferred automatics. She didn't care much for my Porsche, either. No big deal, I thought. She can drive her Probe, and I'll drive my stuff.
Today, we have a truck, a car, and an SUV. All are autos. My old Porsche is long gone.
Occassionally, I wonder just what exactly happened.
I have to admit though as traffic gets worse and worse, the autos are less hassle.
