I was taught how to drive a manual at 9 years old. My drivers training was done with a 3-speed on the column. I took my drivers license test in a stick-shift the day I turned 16. In high school I taught myself how to heel-toe in a 1973 VW. My daily driver is a stick-shift, which I'm looking at replacing with another stick-shift car.There is of course THIS factor
That image should be updated to say Gen Z. Millennials go back to 1981. Many of us drive a manual.I was taught how to drive a manual at 9 years old.

I don't steal cars, but if I did I would prefer to steal a stick-shift. I am a Millennial.
That was a Mazda RX-7 for meMost Millenials learned to drive in the autos that their boomer parents passed down
You skipped a generation, old boy.Most Millenials learned to drive in the autos that their boomer parents passed down
Short of high school pregnancies most millennials are kids of boomers. At least in my case and nearly everyone I know of my age (Im born mid 80's, parents born in 50's)You skipped a generation, old boy.
Boomer -- Gen X -- Millennial -- Gen Z
Xers like myself cut our teeth on [usually domestic] autos from the 70s and 80s, a time by which automatics had come to the fore. And yet there's no shortage of us, and Millennials, who prefer to row our own.
Arguably, it's the iGeneration (Gen Z) that is statistically most unfamiliar with the third pedal.
I have found that I care about the car itself less when it is an automatic.I used to hate auto’s for Jeep’s as well. I had people tell me that if you buy an Auto, in one week you will stop caring so much about a manual transmission. They were right.
