    Until manual transmission becomes an endorsement on USA cdl licenses.

    Had a chat with a dude in the truck stop I said 3 he said 5.

    Really it should be specified on your license if you are able to drive one or not. (We both were making fun of the autos of course). But hey ....it happened in Canada already.

    So what's your over under?

    highly unlikely, since manuals are facing death.

    i give it 10 more years before we're all screwed.

    Yup. Been federal for a while now. I don't own ANYTHING with an automatic...not even my lawn mower! Personally I can't stand the wretched things.

    With traffic projected to get much worse in the next 20 years, I think you will see stick shifts as dinosaurs, and automatics become a standard especially in big cities.

    Really nothing wrong with autos if they work correctly

    They'll have them fined tuned in the future

    smooth the and quiet power
