I caused a minor kerfluffle at the local Tires Plus store
I went in to get my regular balance n' rote in (I time them up with my oil changes, which are at ~7500 miles with synthetic)
and none of the on-staff employees could drive a stick
Some of us customers got a hearty LOL at them for this

as someone that learned to drive in a '53 Chevy truck with a 3 on the tree, the very concept of getting a job turning wrenches without being able to drive a stick is like getting a lifeguard job without being able to swim
Like, the fuck are you even THINKING
This is one of the reasons I chose my Jeep Renegade in 2019 - it was one of the only cars on the lot that was manual.
2.7L I4
Four by
6 foot bed
Regular or access cab, NOT QUAD CAB
Manual tranny (the 5 speed is exclusive to the 4 cyl, the 4.0L 6 cyl has a shitty 6 speed)
Been hearing good things about the more recent models though. Might think about checking them when I go looking next (around retirement age, hopefully)
