The ability to drive a manual is normal in most of the world. Here in the land of "I want everything done for me," there are several million people who can't drive a car with a clutch.
One of the many things I like about going to Europe is that you can rent cars with a manual transmission. Getting one with an autobox often costs extra.
While both my daughters have automatics, they both can drive a stick. #1 kid plans to buy a manual shift car when her '95 9K is retired.
