Can you drive a manual transmission?

Yep, 58 from the U.S. I've also driven a manual in England where I had to shift with my left hand. That said, I much prefer automatic. Between being tall (6'4") and having a wonky left kee, it's way too much work to operate the clutch, especially in stop-and-go traffic. And I need to be able to grab my water bottle/coffee/soda/pumpkin peppermint vanilla half-caf lo-fat soy milk mocha latte with an extra shot at all times.
