That was me 10 years ago. My current vehicle is an automatic (I honestly don't remember if the one before was), so I'm out of practice with a stick shift. Lack of practice = lack of confidence and lack of preference.
Used to be, you could get a decent car with a manual transmission cheaper than an automatic. Now, you can get the one car that has neither an automatic transmission nor air conditioning that the dealer keeps on the lot for bait-and-switch purposes. I think it's different with trucks, but I'm not a truck purchaser.
