And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    …american; when i learned to stick-and-clutch fourty years ago (driving fifty-year-old used cars) we still called it a standard transmission…

    …we like to say that i married my wife because she drove a standard, but when she traded in my last hatchback the manufacturer only offered automatics in the new models; would’ve been a dealbreaker for me but she liked the car…

      A string of mild injuries has pushed me the other way. I love driving standard but there’s no leniency. If I twist my knee, pull a leg muscle, etc., I have to choose between driving or making that injury worse. I can’t afford to be home bound just cause I rolled my ankle over the weekend.
