251. I don't live in France. I live
in the U.S.A., and I don't know what the percentages are, but I'd guess over 80% of cars here are automatics.

It's making it a little tricky every time I need to buy a replacement car. Younger salesmen think I'm weird. The ones my age or older (I'm 62) tend to be very matter-of-fact about it, because they grew up with moms who knew how to drive a stick. The younger ones generally don't know any women who can drive one.

My sons' friends think I'm quite cool.
