I deeply miss driving a manual. Toyota stopped selling new Camrys and Corollas with manual transmissions, at least in the USA (except the expensive and overpowered, although cool in its own right, GR Corolla).

Driving, for me, is now officially a boring, menial task I have to do just because I'm afraid to get ran over by an SUV on my bicycle. Everything is a grey brick now. What are my options for a vehicle? A bunch of ultra-expensive, drab, boring, grey bricks.
