Cause its cool to have a stick shift. Plus not everyone can afford automatic transmission in some models a stick us standard equipment.

jono100, you are correct. Nothing better than going through the gears of a 5 speed stick. Quicker off the line, faster around corners, and just plan cool.
Need to know how to drive one to really appreciate it. For those who say its a pain, after awhile you switch gears by sound and habit.
Summertime, loud music, a girl in the passenger seat, and a cool pair of sunglasses.

If you can't drive a stick you don't really know how to drive a car.

With a stick, always put the emergency brake on.

I bet that person will never forget to use the emergency brake ever again.

Yea, sticks are fun until you're on I-55 in heavy traffic. You'll wear the clutch and through out bearing out before you reach the Outer Drive. !st, 2nd, 3rd, back to 2nd, then 1st. Yea, sticks are fun.

It's a great feeling to tach up and do some power shifting--Try it --you'll like it.

Who needs stick. The roadways or expressways here aren't meant for high speeds.
