As time marches on,a new generation of People are entering into this Hobby.
Most never growing up with a Manual trans. Vehicle at all in their History,and thus not very skilled or confident in piloting one.
For the prices they have to pay for some of these cars today,I am seeing more newcomers desire an Auto. trans Behind Anything,so they can drive/enjoy it more and not let it resemble a Paperweight.

I remember my wife showing me an article that had a list of things that every parent should teach his or her child. Among the items on the list was teaching your child to drive a manual transmission car. Other items included teaching them how to fish, finding the North star to navigate by and starting a fire without matches. I dont know where that list went...maybe that was another item on the list...teaching your child to make a list and then being able to find it later.
