You might be a stick shift racer if..

You have to sell your car that has too much bondo that keeps cracking from all the speed shifting.

Automatics work by fluid pressure. As you get older, you might become suspicious about the reliability of parts that require fluid pressure to function, lol.

this gives me goose bumps

Even your family big-block station wagon is a factory 4 speed

Your now a millionaire because you got a dollar every time someone asks you if you have a "M22 ROCK CRUSHER"! for a trans.

Power Shifting
Grindin' the Gears
Slam Shifting
Rowing the Lever
Jammin' the Gears
Banging the Gears
Knowing how to Sling that Shifter

All with, of course, a Hurst Four Speed Transmission

And then there's "Granny Shift". None of us on here have ever done that though! Jim

Another one,
If you've had the racer you just beat come over and congratulate you then tell you how good you could do if you had automatic.
That's true story has happened to me several times.
