Haha. That's SO sad it's hilarious 
Do people in the US know how to drive manual?

Some do, some do not. They are not very common, and a lot of models are only sold in automatic, but most sporty cars have manuals available. I learned when I was 16 and drove manual from 18-25ish. I miss manual when I'm driving on pleasant roads, but not at all for commuting.
My brother drives a Lexus IS with an automatic, and it's weird when you're not used to not shifting gears. Especially when slowing down.
Agreed. I can't imagine just trusting brakes to slow you down.
I ordered my new car last night month. I chose an automatic because it's just more comfortable in dense traffic. Plus it has adaptive cruise control, lane assist and traffic jam assist. I won't have to do much driving.
Not a bad idea, I have done the same recently, somehow driving in London with a 20mph speed limit in a lot of zones doesn't really warrant gear changes, it's really lame when cyclists overtake you on the road.
My next car is going to be a bicycle
Buy domestic you communist.
Agreed, but i'm not sure about blue?
He's a fan of Sleepy Joe.
Agreed, it's beautiful, but more so in grey.
I realize, sorry, realise you're Bri ish, but grey cars are boring. Only the AM DB5 is allowed to be grey for cultural-historical reasons.
A Ferrari is supposed to be blue. Or red/yellow if you're rich but tasteless.

You know who had a black car? Hitler.
I disagree, grey is perfect, it goes with our weather. Also, unless they put the steering wheel on the right side of the car i'd have to think hard about getting one.
