Most of not-North-America drive around in manual vehicles. Have to wonder what the allure is of something which is kind of mundane and boring. When I'm driving a manual I'm not thinking I'm Steve McQueen, instead I'm just constantly shifting gears between sets of traffic lights. If people really want to connect with a car, then buy an EV. Instant torque and responsiveness without screwing around with extra sticks and pedals or suffering the rubber banding in some automatics.
I switched from manual to auto after I moved to Reading and found myself constantly dancing the clutch fandango in all the stop start traffic.
Does this guy not know of a handbrake?
Works really well in my automatic car.
This meme is pre-electric.
Hyundai is making an Ioniq 5 N, that can simulate gears and gearchanges so people can still feel like vroooom, vroooooom. You can't make that up.
Maybe I'm kidding myself but I feel like even if I won the lottery I still wouldn't replace my -07 Nissan Pickup. I'd probably have the thing entirely rebuilt but it's basically my dream car as it is so other than customizing it even more there's nothing newer trucks have that I wish mine did too. The only downside to older vehicles is the increased need for maintenance though I'm much rather fixing a 15 year old truck today than 2023 truck in 2038.
I've owned 3 automatics in 30 years. I'm going to ride out the apocalypse in my 2-seat 50+ year old, 35mpg manual.
Someone bring this sniveling fool to me! I grew up on a farm and when I learned to drive, I started with a 5x3 manual double stick and then "graduated" to a 15 speed. I will have this fool crying in his pablum within a mile.
I'm all for automatics. What transmission you drive does not lessen the driving experience.

I don't drive a car that needs detonating dino-dhiarrea anymore. And BEVs only habe one gear. So there's that.
You drive a car that indirectly needs dino-dhiarrea. Only moved the problem one step.
