I bought a car from my sister years ago (1984) that was a manual. She lived in Norfolk,I lived near Petersburg. My lesson consisted of "if you want to make it home,, you'll figure out how to drive it". I've been driving a manual ever since. It's the best theft deterrent known to mankind now.As I recall, I learned to drive a standard transmission by watching what my friends did.No actual *teaching* involved, just observation. It's not exactly rocket science.

Yes, grew up driving tractors, mini bikes & motorcycles. For my kids, it was four wheelers and motorcycles. Sort of almost makes it cheating driving manual with a car.I was driving tractors while most of my classmates were playing with dolls. Only way to learn to drive is with a stick shift.
