My first 4 or 5 cars were manuals. When I was 16, I actually"inherited" a brand new Mustang my mom had bought for herself. She had grown up driving tractors and cars with manual column shifters, but she couldn't get the hang of the Mustang's stick, so she gave it to me.
Finally switched to automatic when we had two young kids and dogs in the back. Automatic just made a lot of stuff easier at lights and such when dealing with the kids.
Our only manual now is our son's car. He's 22, but I end up driving it every now and then when he's home from college.
Actually, I guess my motorcycle counts, too, right? I've ridden since I was about 5 years old.
Definitely going auto, though. We're in our 50s. My wife is rapidly heading toward a total knee replacement. My knees are not as bad as hers, but they are not good, either.
We'll do some off-roading, but I won't be doing and hardcore stuff. The auto will handle everything I need it to.
