Can you drive a manual transmission? (lemm.ee)

And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

Yep, 58 from the U.S. I've also driven a manual in England where I had to shift with my left hand. That said, I much prefer automatic. Between being tall (6'4") and having a wonky left kee, it's way too much work to operate the clutch, especially in stop-and-go traffic. And I need to be able to grab my water bottle/coffee/soda/pumpkin peppermint vanilla half-caf lo-fat soy milk mocha latte with an extra shot at all times.
