Learning wasn't the issue, rather the availability. When I was in the market for the '69 Charger, '97 Z28 and the '99 Trans-Am, the 4 and 6 speeds for those cars were very difficult to come by-I found one example of an M4 Charger in a year, 7 months for the F cars and so forth. I'm not an autocross racer, drag racer, drifter, or even a boulevard cruiser-I sit in traffic like every other dumb-ass poser-racer-boy, so a manual transmission wasn't the priority; rather, I was interested in engine and exterior options. Besides, with all of the torque my engines have the transmission type is a moot point...
