But gradually, before I even noticed, I found myself getting the hang of it, and starting to enjoy driving again. Now I absolutely love manual more than auto. It's my daily driver, so I use it for stop and go traffic as well, but I honestly don't really mind it. Driving manual has almost become second nature to me now, and it is way more fun than auto.

hahhaa. oh god i remember the first day i had to drive my new manual to work in winter. I was stuck in 2 hours of rush hour traffic. On the clutch the whole time. Wondering why the F i ever bought a standard.
