Hi,

Manual transmissions have almost disappeared from the scene completely here. When I wanted a manual in the last car I bought, it took the dealer almost a week to locate one. Getting a rental with a manual is nearly impossible. What with automatic transmission, power steering and breaks and cruise control, I'm sometimes tempted to send the car on the trip by itself while I stay home and play computer games :)

What all this means about American drivers versus the rest of the world is a place I do not want to go :)
