I can, pretty well. It's pretty much the standard down here - buying a car with an automatic transmission actually costs more. It can become a chore when you're sitting in dense traffic with a heavy clutch, but there's definitely a feeling of more control over the car. I think it's one of those things every driver should be able to do.
