Stick shift cars aren’t for everyone

My sister was away last week and left me with her car so that I could run the engine occasionally. Now there is nothing unusual about that except for one small issue – her car has manual transmission and I cannot remember the last time I drove one of those. She, on the other hand, has always preferred stick shift cars which, by the way, have become as rare as gold dust. She had to wait quite a while before she could find this particular car, and turned down several offers to buy others because they were automatic. Interestingly, when the dealer called to say he had found the car she wanted, he said he had received many offers for it from very interested customers!
