First 3 cars were all manuals. Probably been about 10 years since I drove one.
Other than sports cars and Jeeps they don't seem to make too many anymore. I had 2 full sized trucks that were manuals.

Yes. Learned to drive a standard in HS, but it was my aunt’s car.
I bought a standard 5 years ago and kept it a couple years before giving it up due to me getting a company car.
I want to get another one. How many traditional standard vehicles are produced anymore?

Yup. My dad made sure if it. My first vehicle was a 5 speed f150. I will probably do the same for my kids.

There’s like less than 10 models available for sale that have a manual option right now

The question is not whether you can operate a manual gearbox, anyone can learn that in 30 minutes, it is whether you can effortlessly heel and toe.

First car was a manual transmission. Just got my first automatic 3-4 years ago
Posted on 5/27/21 at 10:21 pm to Clovis Pilgreen
Have a 66 chevy with 3 on the tree. So yeah

Short of a career valeting cars, why?

Currently own one, 14 Jeep JKU. Learned how to drive with a three speed on the column in the pastures.

Just remember once you grind all those sharp edges down the horrible noise will stop.
Posted on 5/27/21 at 10:27 pm to Clovis Pilgreen
Of course I can. Even a 18 speed in an old Kenworth baw.

Follow-up thread: when do you use the clutch?
1) Anytime I shift
2) I upshift without the clutch.
3) Big Rig Butters here. I only use the clutch to take off.
I had a Mustang where I was Big Rig Butters for a few years. I drive a WRX now and so far I've resisted the urge to go Big Rig Butters on her.

if they’re being honest, can drive a stick?
I've owned 4 cars in my life. Only the first (which I only had for 6 months before a lady ran a stop sign and totaled it) was an automatic. Everything since, and to this day, has been manual.
So,yeah, I can drive a manual transmission car.

I used to have a 1970 Chevrolet truck with a "three on the tree"
You youngsters wouldn't understand.
