One thing that I noticed while I was driving Bosnian friends around was that their attitude towards Automatic transmissions is that they're for lazy people. (People with knee problems are exempt, of course.) Learning to drive a 5-speed smoothly is part of the passage into manhood.
The urban Somali men that I've driven around nodded approvingly when they saw that the car had a stick instead of an auto.
