    The fact that it’s a manual ruins the joke. They don’t make manuals anymore, and no one who owns one would put that windshield on it.

        New ones aren’t. In fact, most new cars in Europe are electric.

        So unless there’s some manual electric out there I haven’t heard of I’d say most new cars are automatic.

      Not most standard cars, no. Mazda still sells one or two manuals. Cadillac still had at least one as late as last year. They’re almost dead, but not quite. I walk, bike or take public transportation most of the time. Sometimes I’ll go a few months without driving. Still, I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I give up the stick shift.
