Completely off topic, but since this is a car thread, I'll just continue. I posted my cars anyways (mini & X5).
What is the percentage (%) like of all the drivers in the USA that can actually drive (read shift gears manually)?
I mean, do Americans learn to drive in automatic cars?

The vast majority of Americans don't/can't drive manual shift transmissions. For most cars, if you want a manual shift you have to special order. Dealers don't stock them. I don't see that as a big deal anymore because double-clutch gearboxes will eventually replace manuals and current torque-converting style automatics.
What makes choosing to drive a manual "driving" any more than an automatic or dual-clutch?
I can drive a manual, but choose not to.
I always tell parents it's a good idea for their daughters to learn a manual shift, so they can always drive a car home (for example, their boyfriend gets drunk and has a manual). It's also a good idea for teens since it forces them to focus. I think everyone should learn to drive a manual. It's good experience.
True. But I don't think actually driving a manual is "driving" any more than driving an automatic.
Not really sure what you mean by that anyway. Although I would consider driving for sport somewhat lacking if you don't know how or have never experienced a manual.
Another member (iDutchman) defined actually driving as shifting manually, as if using an automatic was doing something less. That's why it is in quotes.
I have the perfect solution to scare these idiotic drivers straight. Would also be a decent population control measure.
Send them to Germany and have them go on the Autobahn. They will be putting along in the left lane when a Ferrari comes up on their butt and crashes into them because the idiots don't know anything about the rules of the road. I figure around 60-70% of the drivers won't make it back.
Ha, I used to do this before we got rid of our 4-runner. I swear, people got the HELL out of my way when I used to drive it...to bad that trick never works in my rsx

Sweet nice to se some other BT Dubbers on here.
Sure I'v got some looking out the window at them, from the door to them and a picture just before I got in to the black one.
If you want any more "detailed" pictures then you'll have to wait until tomorrow when it's light and I'm back.
