Consider cars considered collectable now, and how many have manuals.

One fun one was the older CTS-V station wagon, with a manual.

Some of us are protecting the ancient traditions. My son will learn to drive a manual soon.
Mine know how.

Most kids now will never be exposed to a manual, I reckon.

I remember when my dad had one of these. The big ugly actually fit in the garage. Not these days.

but, there's no clutch
He couldn't hit in the clutch anyway. That's why he's still going to camp

Heh, I was (wrongly) named MVP for one game because of a clutch hit.  (Our pitcher pitched a complete game and had two hits, he deserved it much more than I did, I just happened to have a hit late in the game with the bases loaded to put us agead.  The funny thing about my hit is it was a line drive to right field and he could have thrown me out at first because I don't run very well now, but he threw home...)

BMW M Cars Are Done With DCTs, and Soon, Manuals Too | The Drive

We had a rental DCT once in France that was impossible to drive slow like when parking.

One of the best episodes ever of the Munsters. Grandpa had to build Dragula  to win back the Munster’s family car that Herman lost on the bet at the dragstrip.  the bad guys took the parachute out of grandpa’s Dragula, and Herman had to run out there and grab onto the back of Dragula to bring it to a stop. His boots were smoking profusely.
