2015 WRX, 6 Speed, 600 miles. Just put some studded snow tires on it last night, this car is amazing on snow and ice with those on, I can can it in first gear from a stop sign on ice and not even lose traction. Big step up from skidding around town on the stock tires.
2012 Jeep Wrangler - 6 speed
I love driving it and I named him Maverick.
It's got about 25,000 miles on it and I'm planning to run 33s in the spring. I also have a rugged ridge light bar w/ kc's. He is beautiful.
t-rent2014 VW TDI Jetta Sportwagon, 6 speed mania, 4,500 miles. 53 MPG on the highway. i love my baby so much!!!
That's a great car. We test drove one and couldn't believe it. My wife took it through this crazy s turn on ramp at about 60 MPH. This was going to be her car so I didn't have much say in it. She just doesn't want to drive a station wagon :-( If it were me, I would have bought it. Although we drove a CC with a 6 speed and it was insanely fast and fun to drive. That will probably be what we end up buying.
My car is a 2014 Mazda 5 with a 6 speed. We love driving sticks. They are getting harder and harder to find. When we were test driving cars we were surprised at how many manufacturers don't make a manual tranny for U.S. markets. It blows!!!
Added bonus of owning a stick is that they rarely get stolen. Turns out that many of the fools trying to steal your car can't drive them. I know 2 people who had their car stolen and abandoned a block later because the guy could figure out how to drive it.
1989 4runner SR5 v6, 220,000 miles, 5 speed manual, and yes I like that it is a stick- it would be gutless if it were an automatic and I never would have bought it if it were.
2011 Xterra Pro-4X with 6 speed manual.
Bought new in late 2010 with 2 miles on the odometer and now has just over 42K.
Upgraded the shitty stock Rugged Trail tires to Goodyear Duratracs after the first 500 miles and it has been a beast in the snow and on the trails and forest/mountain roads it has seen.
MinggOh my...please post pics of the cj7. That's like my dream car
it's nowhere near perfect, but its an awesome car to cruise around and have fun with!
just last month i managed to register it as an oldtimer so no more taxes now! :D

(i'll see if i can find a 'clean' pic of her)
That is fucking awesome. My friend's dad has a cj7 and it's so fun to take out on trails. I love it!
missing my 2010 subaru forester 5 speed... going to take a couple of weeks to get fixed ... recommendation to all, check yer freakin' tires before it snows in Colorado.
the shiffter bushings and cup constantly need replacing.
when they are tight its real nice, when they are loose it feels like youre plunging a overflown toilet.
cant beat dat caddy ride doe.
Yesterday I tried to learn stick in my dad's 1991 bmw E30. The same car he used when he was a rally car driver. The clutch is pretty much useless, so shifting is pretty hard. There are probably loads of metal shavings in the gearbox.
learned on a shitbox honda civic with a loose shifter and sloppiest clutch in existence. now the only stick car i really drive is my parents NA miata, 1990 5-speed. pretty awesome car considering how cheap and available they are. its the perfect car for someone learning stick as well - the shifter clicks from gear to gear, making the throws incredibly hard to miss. the car weighs so little, and has such little weight on the back wheels that I can start from a standstill in fourth. you will spin the wheels before you stall it if youre starting from first. if im on any sort of a downhill grade ill start in second. i can go 0-110 kph in third, its a very forgiving transmission
anyways yeah its a great little car, fun to drive, no bullshit. no traction control or ABS so you really feel like you are the one controlling the car. i love it
I drive a 2013 VW Golf, 5spd. I love it, shifts like butter and is golden to about 120 in third. The clutch is also the most forgiving thing in the world, you could literally teach a monkey to drive this car.
