Who still drives a stick in 2025?

[t1kilo]

I'm late to the thread, but I got rid of my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie about a year and a half ago and replaced it with a 2006 Dodge 3500 5.9 diesel dually with a 6 speed manual. I knew when I bought it that there was no way I was going to use it as a daily driver, so I started looking for something fun to drive. A couple weeks later, I ended up with a one owner 2016 Mazda MX5 Miata soft top with 6 speed manual with 24k miles. Maybe not as much fun as the cars some of you have, but it is still a lot of fun.

+1 on that! That generation of Novas were sharp-looking cars in my eyes, the Mopar A bodies (Dart/Valiant) of that era were right up there too. Simple lines without being bland.
Big cars by todays standards, but at the time they were considered to be compacts.

Four speed 1957 MGA roadster is my fair weather weekender, a total thrill to cruise around in.

I have a near mint 1985 CJ7 that's a 4 speed. I have had more CJs than I can remember in my life.. More than a dozen, less than 20.. I enjoy driving it for about 45 minutes these days, Then I'm sick of the hard ride and clutching it. It may get 200 miles a year now. I had a 911 Turbo Cab that was a 6 speed... It was fun.. But I got rid of it because I got sick of shifting it.

I still love driving my manual, and it’s been a part of my driving experience since I first learned. There’s just something about having that control over the car that makes it more enjoyable, especially when you’re on a back road or cruising in a more relaxed setting. It’s definitely a skill that’s becoming less common, though. I was actually talking to a guy at the hardware store the other day, and he asked if it’s hard to drive a stick. I told him not at all, but I do feel like it’s becoming a bit of a lost art these days.
