When I got my first driver's license if on e took the driving test in
an automatic shift car they put a restriction on you license that you
were only allowed to drive that style of car. If you took the test in
a stick shify ride - no restrictions.

I took my test in a manual, but only because that's what I had access
too. At my age I prefer automatic, but if I find a deal that is too
good to pass up (like my current car) I will deal with the shifting of gears. :)

Then there are the non-automatics like the current batch of Mini cars.
They are paddle shifted. Once you let the clutch out to start moving you
change gears with a pair of paddle switches mounted on the dashboard
side of the steering wheel. The right paddle does the up-shifts and the
left paddle handles the downshifts. Coordination of throttle position
and clutch are handled automatically by what I imagine is some pretty sophisticated software. Talk about shades of Formula One racers. I drove
one just to see what it was like. I imagine once one gets used to the new arrangement it can be quite nice. Still, I prefer the automatic shift in
my current ride. Especialy w/cruise control.
