   Having lost most of my right arm in a car accident(in a Manual car   
   almost 50 years ago), I HAVE TO drive an Automatic.   
      
   In the almost 50 years since that accident, I have only driven a Manual   
   ONCE .... and the Car's owner was sitting in the Passenger seat to move   
   the gear stick when required.
