I always keep one car with a standard transmission in the stable. When you manually shift, you are part of the experience. Otherwise, your just along for the ride. Many manufacturers are no longer producing cars with a manual shift. With electrification, CVT transmissions, and autopilot, this will all but disappear from the retail market. At least racing will keep it alive. Aside from 4, 5 , and 6 speed on the floor, I haven't seen a three on the tree in over 30 years and those were 20 years old at the time.
