And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

I got a manual for a few reasons, but the big one in my mind was fewer moving parts, and something that I can actually maintain myself. I’ve actually rebuilt a transmission before, and while it’s not the easiest thing to do, I already have the tooling required to pull a transmission and disassemble it.

I’m not redlining my 2002 v6 pickup truck so it’s not a performance thing. It’s just something I like. I like the engagement even if it’s a pain in the ass sometimes.
