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.

My car has a manual transmission. I learned to drive on a manual transmission. I prefer it. When I drive a car with automatic transmission, I step on its nonexistent clutch.

I still instinctively press the non-clutch when I have to slam on the brakes

And when you’re in an automatic and you reach for the phantom gear shift. At least once every time i drive one.
