5 speeds are where its at, and man you shouldnt be trying to drive with a burger in one hand anyway so that shouldnt be an issue, lol. Drive thrus are the devil anyway. But post the details of this blazer you are looking at and I am always up for a trade, I would love to have a 5 speed.

Yeah, what's with trying to drive with a burger in your hand? LMAO!
Sticks rock automatics any day! I'd give anything to get rid of the auto in my Blazer for a stick! My last three cars were manual transmissions ('91 Cavalier, '97 Grand Am GT, and '98 Nissan Maxima), and I miss 'em dearly. I love my Blazer too, but the transmission is the one pet peeve I have about it.
In fact, I'd love to give GM a piece of my mind for coming up with the goofy idea of only allowing sticks as an option for two-door versions of the Blazers (when they offered 'em). You can't get one at all in the new Trailblazer. What's up with that?!?
I even emailed GM's corporate office about it, and their response was that buyers of these trucks want automatics more than sticks. I have a hard time believing this, especially since this thread has received so much response saying otherwise. I propose that we send a copy of this thread directly to GM. Believe it or not, a real person actually responds to it.
I think our concerns carry more clout if they come from forums just like this. In fact, I will look for GM's response in my email archive and post it later on this thread.
AND - a true manual tranny driver NEVER gets sick of it! I'll take a number and wait in line for that manual transmission you wanna get rid of!

Me personally I love the control of stick and the thrill, but I also love the automatic trans offroading and that is exactly why I am getting a hurst rachet shifter.
