Reminds me of stories about car thieves failing to steal certain cars cos they're manual.
Grew up with manual cars, played some driving games with the manual setting, and went to driving school to learn how to drive stick, but because of my anxiety and other mental conditions, I've ultimately turned to auto, much to the chagrin of my driving teacher and car enthusiast peers, lol. I'm glad I know manual at least.
My uncle demanded I learned to drive in a manual, he reckoned that if you can drive a manual, you can drive anything... I always thought it was useless as 90% of cars over here are Autos, but over the years I've found it extremely useful, allowing me to drive not just cars, but "real" 4WD's, trucks, buses, rescue vehicles and specialised vehicles. It also makes reversing with trailers in autos so much easier lol.

It blows my mind how many people in North America can't drive a manual.
Here in Europe the vast majority of cars are manual transmission and automatics are uncommon.
