Can you drive a manual transmission? (lemm.ee)

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.

There are very few manuals still sold in the US. The holdouts are ultra-budget models or pretentious sports cars. I can count on one hand the number of people I know who can drive manual.

I can drive one because my dad had an ultra-budget hatchback that I learned on, and later I had one of those pretentious sports cars, which I swapped for something more practical when I had kids. Age: old enough to have kids.

I'll give you one other category - off-road focused SUVs (Wranglers, Broncos, etc...)
