Years back I bought a 53 Pontiac with a 3 on the tree,,, drove it through school and after... and have had a 3speed mustang for the last 15 years... it's a feeling of being connected to the car and the road, no electronics, no modern technology, more raw.... hard to say but I believe everyone should know how or at least have tried it in their lives.....
