What was the last car with a manual transmission you drove?
I currently own a Fiesta ST with a six-speed.

My daughter's 2008 Jeep Wrangler, 2 years ago. I'd own a manual now, if wife had ever learned to drive one

2000 Ford Ranger. If my boss brings it to work and it needs to be moved, he and I are the only ones that know how to drive it.

A Jeep Wrangler about 20 years ago.
I'd love to get my hands on a Fiesta ST. I've been shopping for one, but now is especially a bad time. Then I keep saying to myself why do I need a second car when I love driving mine?
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

@jkuvakas about a month ago, always fun but was trying to get the idle adjusted. I own a 63 Monza as well but with a automatic, makes me want to get mine out for a good drive, hasn't been driven in over a year due to all the car shows cancelled in our area thanks to covid.

@galen55, what a treat! Those were great cars that never really got their due.

@david-green, I had a 1992, one of the most engaging, fun cars I've ever driven. The Fiesta ST is another one but is not quite as tossable as the Miata.

Congrats ! It looks to be in excellent condition too.
And, of course, it is green
