I learned to drive on a car with a manual transmission...but the shift was on the wheel, not on the floor. I did have a boyfriend once who allowed me to drive his 65 Mustang with 4 on the floor, but I ground the gears rather badly...🤣🤣🤣

All of my family can drive them. It was a requirement before I let my kids get a license. Even my grandchildren are learning, too.

If I could find a new one for a reasonable price, I'd buy another one! They last and last and I like that fact that I can "mix the revs"...lol.
Sure, as long as it's a transmission with synchro rings (AKA synchromesh). They became common for all gears in the 1960s; prior to that only some gears were synchronized, and I don't know if I've ever driven one of those.

@ElwoodBlues There were millions of cars on the road in the UK when I was growing up with no synchromesh on first gear (from Minis to Jags!) You didn't notice that much unless you had to select first gear on the move, which was comparatively rare. I had fun practising on my 1956 Standard!
@supersnipe I remember double declutching on an ancient Rover…

supersnipe · 61-69, M
Most people can here (UK), especially the older drivers. Automatics were a semi-luxury until comparatively recently.

Most people in South Africa, yeah.
Manual is standard, automatic is rarer, even for new cars.
