I am 30 and have always known how to drive standard. Even taught a few people including my wife. Her car is a standard but my truck is automatic. You can't find anything but a base model truck in standard anymore unfortunately.
You guys are all missing a great feature of a standard front wheel drive car. They are hard to get stuck. With a standard you have the ability to rock the car back and forth out of almost anything. Throw in someone pushing the car and there was never a day that we couldn't get our little Mazda 323 up and down the hill to Fortress. I live in Grande Prairie with a ton more snow than Calgary and have never got stuck in a standard.
