I've only owned autos ( 1986 Ford LTD Wagon, 90 Olds 88, 07 Vibe), but learned on manuals my parents and friends had.
The perk of learning manual is that when you have a professor with two Corvettes, who simply must take them both to a photo shoot for the local Vette Club, you just might get to drive one of them!
Drove his 65 Vette for a little bit, then drove his 2000 6-speed the rest of the day. Yum.
Only reason I keep with autos is the amount of city driving I do, and the fiance can't drive a manual. Roadtrips would suck more if I was the only one who COULD drive.
