Every car I've driven has been a MT. While I've only been driving for a little over 10 years, I've never had to replace a clutch on a car. I learned MT on a 72 bug, which I still own, and even started teaching my fiance how to drive on it. To this day, no clutch issues.

I think the whole "don't burn out your clutch!" and "don't engine brake...brakes are cheaper than clutches!" arguments are a little bit on the dramatic side. My Dad has been driving for almost 40 years and he's had to replace the clutch in 1 car of his.
