And you would think that growing up in a small farming community, it would be part of driver's ed, but nope. Depending on the day, we drove either a normal sedan or a Chevy Suburban to get used to driving bigger vehicles you would find in such a place. Stick would have made sense though.

My brother, when he bought his first post-high school car in the mid-90s either wanted to save money or thought driving stick would make him look more macho, and bought him a manual transmission car. Then had to call a friend to come to the dealer to teach him how to drive it.

I imagine it's helpful if driving in other countries. I remember visiting Mexico and taking a bus from Mexico City to Puebla to visit a friend. She and her boyfriend picked me up at the station. He had a broken right arm, so he drove the car, and she worked the gear shift, and they did it perfectly together.
