Kirk, you're right. I've been driving 5 speeds since 1968, and take them for granted. The Pinto was my last American MT. My Datsun pickup got better mpg than the Pinto, so I didn't like the Pinto at all.
I've given away to my kids:
1982 Nissan Sentra wagon 5MT
1983 Nissan Sentra coupe 5MT
Abovementioned VW Rabbit
Abovementioned Toyota Corolla
mid-80s Mazda GLC 5MT
Abovementioned Hyundai Elantra
2002 Nissan Sentra 6MT
2006 Hyundai Elantra AT
Hmm, that's only 8. Either I miscounted, or I've forgotten one...
