Driving manual transmission cars
It is said that if you want to protect your vehicle from thieves, you should get one with a manual transmission. Basically, older people joke about this, saying that a car operated with a stick shift won’t get robbed. Of course, the truth lies somewhere in the middle as your car could get robbed by an elderly, too.
But facts are facts, and, according to a report released by Automotive News, “stick shifts actually represented only 1.1. percent of the car sales market in our country back in 2019.” In the same year, there was a report about a car thief who tried to steal someone’s car. He wasn’t able to do it since it was a manual transmission car.
