I held off until 2011. But once I started gigging a lot and was in situations where I *had* to be somewhere in LA at a specific time, and easily spending an hour + in stop-and-go traffic, I switched. The last straw was a gig with a 7:30 downbeat at a club less than 9 miles from my house. I left at 5pm to give "plenty of time." I arrived at 7:25pm. My left leg was about to fall off from working the clutch.

I still find myself instinctively moving my left foot and grabbing for the shift knob from time to time...
