Stick man forever
When my wife and I are in the market for a Wrangler - new or used, we walk away when we see it's an auto! I was even disappointed when we couldn't get a manual trans for her 2011 GC. To us, if it's not a stick, it's not a real Jeep! Same goes for sports cars.
Ride on!

I do have to throw this out there. I do enjoy driving a stick shift even though I'm currently in an auto the title of this thread is funny. It's a group of guys staying they're more manly cause they are handling a man stick!! Just food for thought(pun intended)

Man Stick ( 6 speed Manual) Check In
Hope your not referring to me. Lol. I've driven both and grew up on manuals. My next jeep will likely be a manual as I miss driving them but it doesn't make me anymore of a man because it will be a manual or I can drive a manual. Lol that's all I'm saying. Both are fun to drive and a a jeep is a damn jeep regardless of what transmission is in it lol. I'm just poking fun as this thread is

Looks like cutman is just starting trouble - it says in his profile his JK is a stick!
If you read the initial post, I don't think it's intended to immascualte men, it is about the fun and nostalgia of driving a stick.
I prefer manuals because I feel more connected to my machine and have more control. You can't upshift an auto to 3rd to get more traction on a slick surface. If you're making a pass, you don't have to wait for it to downshift as you would in an auto - all automatic Jeeps (and most cars) have this issue, unless it's got a 'hemi' I suppose!
I'm with DunnyBunny though. If it's a Jeep, it catches my eye, and I give the Jeep wave not even thinking of the trans. It's a Jeep thing!
I have to throw this out there however. I taught my wife (then girlfriend) to drive a manual on my first Wrangler.
If she sees a guy with a bada$$ Jeep (or muscle car, Porsche, etc...), and it's an auto, she mumbles an adjective that I don't think I can post here - just sayin!
