(Cross-post from: I was always a "car guy". Crossovers & SUV's are ending that. )
YKYAEM: when you're walking down the street as someone pulls away from a stop in a plain jane 2000-2006 Camry sedan and you realize it's got a manual transmission! Unicorn sighting! Actually happened to me this summer.
Same style as my folks' car (though theirs is automatic, of course)...
