  • Interesting, did not know this. Do you also have different licence classifications? One of the reasons I think manuals are common here in the UK (or atleast cheaper* cars tend to be manual) is because you have to pass your test in a manual to be able to drive a manual car - if you pass in an automatic you can only drive those, so naturally everyone’s first car is a manual so you’re not restricted later in life on what you can buy or rent, or if you just need to drive a friend’s car or something.

    *Cheaper here means small hatchbacks. Once you get into the price range of more luxury cars the price difference between manual and automatic is either negligible or automatics become cheaper depending on the model.


  • It makes no difference, kids will be kids and if there is nothing to make fun out of your real name they’ll come up with nicknames until they find one you don’t like. Whatever it is they come up with, you just have to own it.
