   That’s definitely worth a chortle! 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!
