You must have been upset too when states eliminated mandatory
testing on manual gearbox autos and allowed testing to be done
using any car.

Not me, just the folks filing their insurance claims and/or licking their
wounds after someone who didn't know how to negotiate the clutch AND the
brake pedal simultaneously rear-ended them at a red light.

P.S. My first drivers license was "manual shift endorsed." ggg

How long ago was that. I was first licensed in NY state in 1958 and took
my test on an automatic and then taught myself in a short time
(30 minutes or so) to drive a stick.
