Checking my records... (read remembering).
I have had very few manual cars in my inventory.
I learned to drive on Mom's '76 Vega wagon. 5-speed manual.
The '73 Passat had a 4-speed manual.
The '83 Lynx had a 3-speed auto, first car with a locking torque converter!
Both Camaros rocked a TH-350, 3-speed auto.
The '86 Civic had a 4-speed manual.
The Biscayne had a TH-700R4 as a Caprice Classic and then a 4L60E later on. Both 4-speed automatics.
The Precious had a 6-speed manual.
The Beast has a 6-speed automatic 6L80.
The Civic needed different gears than what it had. I always wanted one between 2nd and 3rd.
Now that I'm old, I'm starting to appreciate the lack of pain from my left hip and knee in stop-and-go traffic.
I'm no good at being a car snob.
