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.

Yep, I'm 36, mid Atlantic US, started driving stick when I was 18. I inherited this little Geo Metro for college, so it was learn stick or no car. (I really liked that car dispite it not having air conditioning, no tachometer, and manual everything)

Next car I bought was a manual. Now since my spouse can't drive stick we only have automatics.

Whenever we need a new car it'll be electric, which unfortunately (by design) are not manuals. So no more stick for me.
