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!

Wow. In my neck of the woods when I drive my M3 no one asks is it "DCT or Manual?" I suspect if i was asked no one would care what type of gearbox the car was equipped with. They just say "cool car", or "nice car", or "is that exhaust stock?"
I can assure you that the gearbox of your car is not what dictates cool vs uncool status in the States.
