Bought a manual transmission wagon two weeks ago. Could be my last manual because we hold on to our cars a long time, and when it’s time to replace one, electric cars may have taken over.

I prefer driving a manual, too — even in hellacious LA rush-hour traffic — but now I’m wondering if I should mothball my 2018 Accord 2.0T 6MT and get some sort of CVT econopod for commuting duty so I...

Who cares what other people say. You drive to please yourself not someone else. I drive an automatic equipped vehicle, the last vehicle I will ever own. I only drive about a hundred miles a month, why...

I am a “manuals for life” kind of guy – and thank goodness the Mustang can still be bought with one. I was hot to sell my Mustang and get something more ahem “executive” like an old Lexus 430/460 since...

I think I am… but I’m just not a GM guy any more which would make my grandfather – who worked for them – roll in his grave. I’ll go off and look at some used SS prices and see if my mind can be changed.
