   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!
