I'm pretty sure those don't exist anymore.

I saw a Tacoma, with a regular cab, and a short bed. 5sp with a V8. I think it had AWD. Dealership floor a couple of years ago. I don't know if it was a one off or not.

I've been driving manual trans so long that I can eat cheeseburger and smoke while shifting gears without spilling a drop of my beer.

There have been recent years where no Corvettes were sold with a manual transmission, sad really.

Please stop saying "millennial" when you mean teens/early 20's. Millennials turn 40 this year. I'm a millennial and yes, I can drive a stick shift.

I havent driven a manual since high school, but driving an automatic transmission is really just steering.

Millennial checking in here.

Both of my cars have 6spd with the third petal.

Not all of us are automatic-driving pussies.

Interesting take considering that manufacturers killed nearly all of their manual options once boomers and gen x dominated the new car market.

Yep. Average age of Corvette buyers is about 60 & manual purchases dropped to below 15% in 2019. Thanks to Boomers /X-ers Chevy killed the manual in the new C8 Corvette.

I had a F150 stepside in HS/College with 3 on the column, and a Straight 6. Truck was super nice, even had a wood bed.

I have a vehicle that has this anti theft system and one additional deterrent. It is a carburetor that can be a bit finicky particularly in colder weather.

Millennial here, 6-speed on my daily. I’m getting a truck soon though so I’ll have to sadly move on to a automatic transmission.

Not really more difficult unless you're a spastic. All you have to do is move one arm and one leg a tiny bit more.

I don’t currently own one, but I’m a millennial and know how to drive one. I can also drive a dual stick big rig. Come at me bro
