So 7% of the US can drive a stick but 83.52% of TBD claims to be able to? I’m not surprised.

Same here... I figured it would be total reversal of general population.

 

The official number is around 18% of the general population.  I cited it somewhere in this thread.

 

7% is the amount of manual transmissions sold.  I had #s backwards.

 

 

 

Anyway... There are still two people who screwed up their votes.  Total yes & no votes should equal yes or no in the next two age related questions.

 

Just saying.

Also those of us who drive stick clicked into the thread. People who can’t probably didn’t open it. 

 

I look forward to calling my automated rentapod from my phone in 10 years. Until then, I will enjoy my standard transmission.

When it gets to your door, make sure your phone chimes in a ringtone just like the Jetson’s doorbell.  ?

My first car was a 69 VW Beetle. So I had to learn to drive a stick.

1991 Camry was a stick too.

Driving a stick shift car in WV is fun.
