In the UK manuals are still common, so       rental companies often double-check you’re comfortable with an automatic,       whereas in North America it’s the opposite — the vast majority of rental       cars are automatic and        finding a manual can be surprisingly difficult, so most drivers never think       twice about it; it’s just one of those regional quirks of car culture, like       driving on different sides of the road or arguing about wheel bearings and       other mechanical bits        over a pint — different norms, same love of motoring. Happy New Year to you       too, Rich!              --       For full context, visit https://www.polytechforum.com/metalworki       g/uk-rental-okay-with-auto-1625780-.htm              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
