No. From rural Oregon, early 20's. My dad has been meaning to teach me with our old Ford Focus, but it hasn't happened yet. :(

As a red blooded man, manual transmission gets my dick hard. That stick is throbbing when I hit the pedal, gotta work it real good.

US, late 20s. I've been driving manual transmissions on the farm since I could reach the pedals. All but two vehicles I've ever owned are manual. Its my preference, especially since I'm my own mechanic and hate working with autos.

My dad has a 2017 Suzuki Swift which is a manual and that's the only car I've ever driven. So, I only know how to drive a manual lol as I haven't tried auto transmission yet.

Texas, 24, just learned a few months back. Bought myself a stick shift car and sold my automatic so my only options were to learn or use public transportation. Public transportation is a joke in the US (for most major cities) so the rest is history.

US - Ohio 50+ Yes, and because I can always have owned and driven manual transmission cars. Daily driver has always been a manual. As long as I drive an ICE powered vehicle it will be a manual.

29 southern US. I've been daily driving since 2014. People get obsessed or weird about it. There's valid reasons to drive automatic or manual, just don't go huffing and puffing one is better than the other

I'm in my early 40s in the US. I learned to drive a manual when I got my license ~25 years ago but haven't driven one since that day. I rode a motorcycle for a few years as well, so I'm pretty sure I could manage if I absolutely had to.

Yes I know how to drive a manual, I learned many years ago. I'm from the US and I'm 42.

Learned on an old beat up truck when I was like 20, I remember I got stuck stalling out on the highway once, I don't even remember how. I freaked out so bad. 8 years ago I had 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. I miss that car so so much.

Yes I can. 30 and from the US.

Yes. 35. Hungary.

Driving those since I have a driver's license, because 99% of the cars are manual here. Actually when buying new, it still costs more to this day to have automatic.

California. 62. Been driving a manual for over 40 years. Most recently a six-speed.

I learned to drive on a standard in Maine, and my first car was a standard. I am now in my mid 30s,

I enjoy them but God would I not one in LA that and they seem almost a non option now outside of high end race cars

USA, mid-30's, yes I can drive cars and bikes with manual transmissions.

Chile, 38, and I've been driving manual all of my life... Well, until a month ago when we finally sold my old trusty 2005 Yaris for a new automatic car so my wife can also drive (my old car was manual and had no drive assistance, it was heavy to turn, and I was the only one in my family that was capable of parallel parking it)

You left gender off of your list of questions. That'd be interesting. I can drive manual transmission. My first 5 cars were all manual until I got married and had to give it up "for safety". I'm from all over the US, but learned to drive in the Midwest. I'm old by internet standards.

One fun fact for y'all; There seems to be evidence that supports the claim that driving a manual transmission vehicle is actually safer for individuals with ADHD, contrary to popular belief.

I've only done it twice but it went surprisingly ok. I could do it if I had to. USA in my 30's

I'm from the Netherlands. I've been driving since 2009 and I've never driven an automatic car. I drive (semi) truck since 2019 and have never driven a manual truck.
