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.

Yes, 32, USA Started learning to drive on my dad's old early 70s Chevy C20. My first car was an automatic but second car was a manual 89 camaro and that's where I really learned manual. The only time I drive manuals now is at work and it's only around the lot

wasn't real common to find that Camaro in manual i don't think, that was a pretty cool car to learn on.. i'm jealous..

if it had the 350 in it i'm crazy jealous

Iirc they only made a few as test cars because the T5 manual transmission couldn't handle the 350, so v8 manuals had the 305. Unfortunately, I had the RS with the v6, I still loved that car tho and it was a t top which I loved.
