If you work on your own car, you will quickly realize:
new clutch = $200
new automatic transmission = $1,500
I drive a stick because I’m cheap.

Yup, and if you take good care of your clutch (don’t ride it, don’t slip it excessively, don’t drop it off the line, match revs before engaging) you won’t be spending that $200 very often. I have a ‘91 Miata with 278K on the clock, and it’s only on its third clutch; the original lasted about 100K and the second lasted over 140K.
