I fear the days of the stick are over, everything is convenience oriented these days. Automakers have slowly begun taking away control of the cars sans steering. Traction control, ABS, and the like..designed to keep the utter bafoon intact on the road. If you want to feel the road or anything else you can't get a new car, drive by wire gas pedal. I had an injury which left me unable to use my right ankle. I can drive my car fine b ut a new one with "drive by wire" I look like a 14 year old girl trying to drive a stick shift. I'm just waiting on the "wipe your arse" machine.
