There aren't any BEVs with this kind of manual transmissions. They just have 1 gear and are operated like automatics. And I am definitely not going back to DDD fuels (detonating dino diarrhea).

I love this meme format so much

I'm a car enthusiast and a fan of manual transmission.

But driving in traffic is such a PITA. And in some places like San Francisco it's nearly impossible to drive manual without changing a clutch every semester, probably.

While I find manual much more engaging and own one, automatic has its undeniable advantages.

I ride a bike, idk how those weird car gears work. I guess I'll learn it soon. Manual bike riding is joy Hopefully it's same on cars.

My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can't find one to rent and I'm not buying a whole car for a few weeks' training.

And what's with this keyless ignition bullshit? How am I supposed to leave my car running with the doors locked when the damn FOB needs to be inside the car?

What does your car do when you take the keys out?

Might let me leave that bitch running forever. It only checked on start up and then never again.

If I could afford a new manual car, I’d love to, or convert my current car into a manual. The only issue I have with that option is money.

I've been driving 25 years now. I've owned an automatic once. And it was a 1988 jeep commanche that I bought for very cheap in 2017 and drove it for about two years.

I've driven plenty of automatics. Family members, wife, work, rentals, they all have auto. And it's just so fucking boring.
