it's a chore, plain and simple..

everywhere bar the USA a MT is just associated with low-end, low-spec cars that the original owner was too tight to check the an AT box on

it's now just turning into a cultural thing, and US is the last bastion where it's 'cool' to own a manual... it's distinctly uncool round my neck of the woods that's for sure!
Very much, it seems to be a badge of honour "I can drive a manual" like it means they are a driving god
Not just someone who can drive a car, like it is over here.
The US is just different. We like MTs and other controversial things. In the end at least we get a choice.
