I learned to drive on a car with a three speed column shift. The first car I owned had a four speed stick shift. There are not very many new vehicles you can buy today that have manual transmissions.
Not very many people today can drive them. I have heard them referred to as a millennial theft deterrent. The funny thing is that if you learn to drive a manual you never forget. It’s just like riding a bicycle. I went about 15 years without driving a vehicle with a manual transmission and then drove a truck with a manual. The first time I got in it I drove it with no problem.

That’s why I loved my truck, I knew that it would never be stolen. It had a manual transmission, or as I called it, a free theft prevention device.
If you are Millennials or Gen Z-er or later, you are probably looking at the term “Manual Transmission” with your head cocked like the RCA Dog.
