Summary of the article: 17% (that high?) of cars in the US have manual transmissions.
Manual transmission car drivers:
1. do own financial planning
2. like solo leisure pursuits (backpacking, jogging, skiing, etc.)
3. cook from scratch
4. like whole bean coffee over other coffees
5. prefers pita over sliced, white bread
6. prefers Bree, not Velveta
7. makes own bread or pasta
8. lives in a boom-filled city (like Boston, Washington, Denver)
8a. or college town (like Madison)
8c. or western state
8d. or northern state with ice
8e. but not NY, LA, Miami, cities with lots of immigrants
(Hey, wait a minute...I live in one of these "not" cities)
8f. not from the South
9. desire for nostalgia and s-x
10. not interested in car DIY, such as changing own oil
(this is really not me, I like to do it 'cuz it
makes me feel like a super-mechanic...even
though I'm only doing a job of the lowest tech.
11. low percentage of subscribers to Sport and Soap Opera Weekly
(This article is correct! I don't subscribe to Soap Opera Weekly!!!)
12. low percentage of TV watching
13. musical taste include classical, golden oldies, modern rock
I must be weird. Of the 13, I only fit 2 of the characteristics of a driver of a manual transmission equipped car
