I kinda wish it was at least an option. I was taught in a Buick Century and my first car was an old Volvo 4spd with electronic overdrive. That was trial and error for the first year. Burnt up that clutch in only 8k, too.
Manuals are probably cheaper to rebuild when they get to the point where they need it, too. Only autos I've seen that compare to manuals in case of fuel economy are either 8 gears or dual clutch. And sure those would cost more than the $2000 it cost my dad with the 3rd gen Z28(auto).
And I have seen drivers with sticks that still have cell phones stuck to their ears.
As for the movies that shift hundreds of times...I only remember a couple. I remember more movies with the guy that cocks the shotgun every few seconds without ever firing it.
