<p class="x_MsoNormal">I bought a new car in 2023 about the middle of the year due to a rear end collision of my perfectly running 2012 Honda Accord Coupe. I bought a Mazda 3 Hatchback Premium edition because it was one of the few cars you could buy with a
manual 6 speed transmission. Most of the cars on the market today are CVT transmissions (no soul) except for high end performance models and high priced sports cars. My three British cars all, of course, are stick shift. My late Accord was a 5 speed manual
transmission. The only vehicle I have owned in the last 40 years that was an automatic was a 2000 Ford F150 I bought new. The only reason for that was you couldn't get a manual transmission in Fords trucks with V8 engines and gas powered. Not sure about
the diesel trucks. Manual transmissions serve well as Millennal anti theft devices better than any expensive electronic unit.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:4.8pt">I grew up in Massachusetts and when I was getting my driver's license in 1966 the law had just changed to allow drivers who got their license on an automatic to drive a manual. Before that unless you took your
driver's test on a manual, you couldn't drive one. In 1967, I bought my cousin's bugeye (frogeye) and she gave me about a half-hour manual driving lesson. Fortunately, I lived in the country and lots of back roads amongst the cranberry bogs to practice my
skills.</p>
