if you're doing anything but drag (and this only comes into play in like 11> ETs) then just get the stick. look at the europeans, they all use them and they dont b*tch about traffic or whatever. you'll enjoy it once you learn
Drove one before I bought the auto.

About other people not being able to drive your car if you get a stick, that's one of the reasons I got a stick. I've had girlfriends ask to drive my car and because they can't drive stick I don't seem like a dick for not letting them drive because I wouldn't let them drive regardless.

As for the designated driver, you should pick someone before you go out and have them drive their car.

I say get the stick! However, your above comment needs to be considered. When we go out I plan on having my wife drive home - so we can't take the GT.

I'm braver than your average gal....or at least I tell myself I am. I've never gone super super fast, but I'd like to! Went with a motocross driver once...by the time I decided to scream it was over!!
