I find it hard to believe it was only 3%. We are doomed as a species. https://carbuzz.com/mini-killed-the-manual-gearbox/

My new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon sat in the lot for months and months before I got it. Why? It has a six speed manual...
I gete it. My toys 1997 Jeep Tj and 1983 K5 Blazer are both manuals. I wouldn't have it any other way. BUT, I don't want to daily drive those rowboats in Atlanta traffic either! Most of the drivers I see have a hard enough time mashing a gas pedal or using a blinker consistently. Adding a third pedal is really overload for the average American driver.
GF's son has a 6 speed man tran Jeep sitting in the driveway. "He wants" an automatic.
Man alive, I'd have been ALL OVER that Jeep learning to drive it when I was 16. Kids ain't the same today.

My first car was a motorcycle so my first actual car being a manual came naturally. My son is dying for a manual. That'll be on his dime.
I hope to have a weekend run around soon. Really hoping I can find a manual. The bigger tragedy is motorcycles are rapidly moving to automatics. 🤮

I am wiping away a tear of sadness right now... :-(
My Jeep may be a manual, but I have an automatic for a daily driver. I'm not crazy...
Hard to text with a manual.
I drove a Miata with 6speed as a daily driver for 5 years. Had a Taurus SHO with 5speed, and before that a RX7 with 5speed, and before that a Rabbit with 5speed. There have been a lot of sticks in my household over the years.
