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.

    Early 30s, US.

    Technically I learned how to drive manual when I was first learning to drive, but then everyone in my family got rid of their manual cars. I didn’t get a car of my own until I graduated college and got a cheap beater for a gift that was auto. I’ve never had a manual car of my own and since it’s been over 15 years I don’t think anyone would want me to test my skills on their clutch, but in an emergency I could drive one.

    I thought about getting a manual for my next car but my wife is just learning to drive and it’s already very scary for her, so I don’t think I will add that to her stressors. She’s also early 30s, US, but born and raised in a major city so never had to drive. I’d like to sign us both up for manual lessons later on though.
