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.

    Im an american and just visited Germany. I rented a stick, but was given an automatic because they ran out of cars. The rental company asked, “Do you know how to drive automatic?”. Just the thought of it kinda blew my mind.

    Driving in Germany was a geat experience. I really wish america would adopt alot of the german driving laws and thinking. I would however be sad about the car modification laws.

    On a side note, i spent a day of the trip doing laps at the nurburgring in a manual hyundai i30n. Life changing experience.

        It was pretty impressive, though i am bummed i didnt get to drive the focus RS. The rental company got rid of it before i was able to get back due to the delays of covid. I would have been more comfortable in the focus as that is my daily.
