I'm suddenly reminded of some ai-death clock site I saw recently. It predicted my death on May 13st.

There must be a trans joke in here somewhere.

The perfect transmission UI was the Teletouch on the Ford Edsel. And if anyone tries to argue I'll say "nuh uh," run away, and cry.

Lol that handbrake start is utterly useless if you live anywhere that's actually hilly all over.

You've got to learn the proper clutchwork from the very start or you'll be taking years on every hill.

Unless you're starting from a cold start on a hill without ABS, I guess it could a safety precaution.

I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and regularly drove my standard transmission in San Francisco (one of the hilliest cities in North America), and used my hand brake all the time to maintain my position while I engaged the transmission. I'm not really sure what you're on about...

I've always had a manual car. I love them. That is until I ended up dating a younger woman and we moved in together. Several years later the manual turned into the second car only I drove. That got sold and we now have two cars she can drive.

One day I might teach her how to drive manual. We live in a really flat area with no major hills, so it shouldn't be a problem. One day maybe,

I always drive manual but my husband likes automatic. My kids learned on his car but my penultimate daughter drives mine to school now. I dunno, shifting seems easy to learn once you know how to drive in general - I learned it because everyone else was drunk one night so I had to drive home, when I was a teenager, and the drunk kid's car was manual.

ETA: I let the school kids use the car and got myself an e-bike because their commute loop is much longer than mine. I have an enjoyable ride in to work. But tell them to baby the car because it may be my last gas-powered car and I will miss the stick shift. Have not had an automatic transmission car for 30 years now.
