Just a random inquiry on this Friday night.
At least here in America, manual transmissions are declining more and more every year.
When I went truck shopping a few years ago it literally took an entire day to even find a dealer that had a 6 speed manual transmission in a truck.
Some people cringe at the idea of driving a manual transmission in such events like stop and go traffic, but me personally, an automatic transmission is such a bore. Even the biggest piece of shit car or truck just seems more fun to drive with a stick. A friend of mine had a crappy Honda CRX some 20 years ago, but damn if it didn't feel like you were racing around a little low profile go-kart with that thing.
Then there was my street legal 5 speed dune buggy I regret selling a few years ago, plan to build another one for sure at some point in the future:
