Neal used to strongly prefer manual, so I made him take me out and show me how to make his car move just in case we ever had an emergency that required such a thing. That was a while back, so I suspect I could probably fumble my way a few blocks down the road to a hospital or some such if need be -- I certainly wouldn't want to tackle a major distance or any highway driving, though.
Both our cars are now automatic, partly because we do wind up switching every once in a while and partly because the used Hondas with automatic were more tempting than those with manual when he last needed a vehicle. :)
