That’s an American problem. In Europe nearly everyone knows how to drive manually.
If it weren’t for America, BMW and Mercedes wouldn’t be selling a single manual transmission vehicle anymore.
lmao
Instead of laughing, perhaps you’d like to see how many manual transmission models are sold under those two brands in Europe. Now do the same for the US.
It’s because only the rich in Europe buy new cars, buying a new car is a very rare thing.
You’re joking right? I’m in the UK and every bugger going has a Merc or a BMW.
Other than the UK I guess, and the business vans are usually sold as manual too.
Totally made up claim, the average passenger car age is 12.2 years in the US, and 12 years in Europe. BMW market share is 2.4% in the U.S., 6.7% in Europe. Similar figures for Mercedes are 2.5% U.S. vs. 5% Europe.
What manual Mercedes is for sale in the USA? I’ve never seen one, that could be a whole lot of fun!
Another thing America got right 😎
Oh yeah just like your guns, healthcare, abortion rights, politicians…
Do not forget all the freedom they get
Which politicians have europeans gotten right?

Thatcher ♥️ Reagan

Boris ♥️ Trump

The two power couple special relationships

Yeah, but they aren’t part of Europe anymore
Fair, they should become the 51st state.
That’d be a coup, though if any country should incorporate them, it should be Canada because they didn’t even have to fight for their independence.
Canada is the 52nd state
Also unironic answer for Czech(oslovak) Repubic: Václav Havel, Dubček, Tomáš Masaryk. So far General Pavel seems much better than Zeman.
The ones who keep healthcare for everyone, have guns under control and keep most companies privacy policy in check. We don’t point at one politician to do the job for us, it’s at least a hundred.
Guns are a problem? I love shooting
We know, we see the headlines coming out of US schools every week.
Are you calling me a killer? That’s not very nice of you
Only in the same way you call someone who voted for Hitler a Nazi.
What does that have to do with liking guns? You’re weird
If you knew that there’s be less dead kids.

Ok I’ll bite…

How does my liking of guns have anything to do with dead kids? You take your meds today?

Do you vote for politicians who would put in restrictions on ownership and laws for improving pre-ownership testing and licensing? Because if not you’re killing kids out of negligence.

I don’t care what politicians say. They’re mostly scum.

I do believe in my constitutional right to keep and bear arms though.

Also, there are many restrictions on buying guns so I don’t know what you’re speaking of.

I’m speaking about the ones that keep kids from dying in schools, of course you don’t know about them, you prefer dead kids.
I bet you’re fun at parties
Yep, because there’s no dead kids not showing up.
You have a nice day
I will, because no kids will be shot. I wish you the same luck, you’ll need it.
