don't you have to pass your driving test in a manual car in the states?i have the opposite problem wife never driven an auto before



Of the new cars sold in the US, I would guess that less than 25% are manual. There are many people that don't know how to drive a manual, surprising enough. Luckily for me, my wife hates driving an automatic (or does that make me unlucky, as she is always taking the cab ).
