This! About ten years ago, I had to make a late visit to a rental property in a rougher part of Atlanta. Walking back to my 1995 Accord Ex Coupe w/ manual gears (they probably made about a dozen of these…) some kids appeared out of the darkness. One had a gun pointed at me. Asked for the keys. I handed them over. And then asked, “do you know how to drive a stick?” Gun-boy said yes, and they climbed into the car. Engine starts. Car sits there. About 30 seconds later, they all got out and asked what else I had.

Cost of that evening? One already vintage iPhone 4. Still driving manual, but not visiting properties in the dark any more.
