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.

    Mid 60’s in the US. I’ve always driven manual transmission cars. Fairly common for folks my age to know how to drive manual transmissions, since most of us had economy cars in the 70’s and 80’s. At that time, automatic transmissions were an expensive option and had a negative impact on acceleration and mileage.

    My daughter is 29 and doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission and I don’t think most of her peers can, either.

    EDIT: Accidentally a manual.
