I learned to drive a stick when I was 9 years old. My father use to let me drive my morning paper route in our Gremlin or Volkswagen bug. I recently bought a used mustang gt with a 5speed stick. I missed driving a standard car.

Same here. Learned in High School way back in 1962 Carlsbad NM.
While going through Tulsa with my old Chevy PU I found stopping at each light did put some shifting wear and tear on my old bones. Then in 1980 I bought my first automatic IH SCOUT.
Now all I have are automatics except my old CJ-5 Jeep which I still take out and run around on my property.

Then there is my old Case tractor....

My first car was a 1973 Ford Pinto with a 4-speed manual transmission.

As in driving on the left side of the road? I learned when I was stationed in England in the 1970s. BTW, driving on the left is not hard and neither is shifting with your left hand.
