Manuals in general have been on the way out for a long time and it seems most restored vehicles have had their manuals replaced in favor of automatics. I find this tread disturbing as I think manual trannies are much more fun to drive, longer lasting, and even safer in some respects.
My truck is a 3OTT and it's fun to drive if only because it's so different. 3OTT and a bench seat lets you have all the fun of a manual plus more room for your friends or just your GF sitting next to you on the drive.
