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.

PNW US, late 30s, and yes. I learned how to drive a manual on an ATV when I was around 11 or 12. From there it was easy to adapt to doing it in a car and I've owned a couple of manuals over the year, though I prefer an automatic for the comfort. I think if I were doing any high performance driving/racing, I'd prefer a manual for the control, but I'm not, so I don't currently own one.
