With me. a clutch car is 90% work and 10% fun. An automatic is ALL enjoyment. I admittedly am no expert clutch car driver. even though I've driven them for close to 40 years. You don't want to see me put one on a trailer. You'd need big trailer chocks and a fire extiguisher to cool down the clutch. LOL
Bottom line is that for me. a clutch car is a bitch.

My 67 Monza, is neglected in my driveway because I just can't get "into it" 
because it's a PG.
If it was a 4-speed, I'd be driving her by now.

Automatics may be classier and smoother, but most of all you can hold stuff 
in both hands, and drive with your elbows, which is harder to do with a 
manual shift (but it can be done, with practice !)

If you'd see my 4door. you'd know that there IS no equavelant car in 
existance. It has ALL the possible options. You name it. it has it. 
including the factory window sticker. Changing it may become not an option.
As to "ruining" it. that is a matter of opinion. I am no lover of manuals. 
so an automatic is just as if not more desirable than a manual.

If I had an automatic LM sedan I'd trade you !

Too bad about your knee, but otherwise it's a shame to take the only car I'd
prefer over a Corsa (a 4-speed sedan !) and ruin it ?

Sorry about your knee though -
