Who still drives a stick in 2025?

I Just bought myself a brand new 2024 civic sports touring with a Manual transmission

There she is, last year for the Civic with a manual transmission (other then the type R and the SI) I should admit I was little rusty since its been many years driving one, also the first time driving a 6 speed.

Rare indeed… what kind of mileage are you seeing?

Used to be all standards.
First new car was a 4 speed Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am.
Now my only standard is my Ford GT.
1st is good to 60mph and 4-6th are OD. Never had it all the way but top end is said to be 212mph.

Ain't gonna happen. The engine don't have enough gonads to overcome the wind resistance at that speed.

Lets see, my Focus RS turbo is a 6 speed and my big truck is a 13 double over.
and both tractors are 12 12's. My focus averages 39 mpg combined with the ac on in the summer so long as I stay out of the hairdryer. My wife's Burb cannot pas a gas station...lol

My sister still drives a stick. In fact, she goes way, way, way out of her way to buy cars that offer stick shift. We just picked up a Mini-Cooper S model with a stick as a buy, fix, sell project. It has BMW disease, but we'll fix it.
