Could as big as a 100% increase with the twenty something crowd- up to 10 kids from 5.

I read that there are less 16/17 years olds today are getting their license when they turn 16/17 than in the past.

autos are boring because less challenging and less involved. Unless you have an Italian flat plane crank screamer paired with an auto I’m not buying it.

Modern manuals are so much easier to drive than old ones. I'm not too old, but everything I own is a manual. Managed all day LA traffic in a manual, no problem in a late model golf or civic. In the manual cars I drove when I was younger, it would have been a bit more of a pain.

Well, that is great, as it means there's hope for my grandson, though it is a family tradition to teach each generation how to drive beginning with a manual. I started on a 3 speed on the column, my son began on a 5 speed, and my grandson will learn on a 6 speed ( unless Dad teaches him on his first car that he still has and it is a 5 speed ).

I hope so. I love driving manual in about anything except highway traffic. Especially the newer ones, they will hold the brakes to help you not roll back on a steep hill. My nephew (14) wants me to teach him. Maybe I will on the right car but right now I'm trying to extend the life of an old clutch.
