Boom, our 17yo has just got his full drivers' license in our (34 yo) manual Subaru. Well done, son, I'm proud of you! 🎉 (Turns out taking the test in a manual car is an increasing rarity - apparently his examiner said for her it was about one every 3 weeks)

@lightweight congrats to you both 😄 Both my boys did it in a manual. There seems to be a bit of a resurgence in their frend groups for this anyway, along with analog watches and record players. But we just think you learn more car control learning in a manual.
@lightweight There will no doubt come a time where there'll be only a few examiners actually qualified to assess driving a manual. "Oh, you have a manual? You need to be assessed by Mary, she only works every other Tuesday."
@lightweight this suggests my cantankerous, manual, already difficult to drive old Kei car will be increasingly safe from theft...
