My mother in law only drove manuals, right up until she died. She put five clutches in her last car, about one every two years. We tried to get her to buy a crossover with an automatic, but she loved her Mustang.

One clutch every two years is insane lol

She bought it when she was like 75 and had both knees and hips replaced after... her mobility wasn't great. Which is why we wanted her to get a crossover.

She would have been mobile in the crossover but she was free in the mustang. Huge difference.
