I always find it intriguing that stick shift seems to be so rare in the US. Here in the UK you'd be hard pressed to find a driver who can't drive stick shift.
If you take your UK test having only learned to drive an automatic then you can't legally drive a stick shift car (which your licence will point out), which obviously limits the cars you can buy. If you do the test with a stick shift then you can drive both types, so I've always thought that anyone just learning automatic isn't really doing the full test.
