My brain has been cared. I'm stuck in a shit city with shit infrastructure. Anyways I recently for the first time in my life bought a "new" (3 year old used) car. It's a 1.4L turboed sedan that is ridiculously quiet that I do not know if it is running half the time. Some fake engine noise could be beneficial for boomers like me who've been driving shit boxes for 20 years.
That said it's also manual cause I enjoy it, makes me feel more in control and have been driving stick all my life. But the shit so computerized and fly-by-wire that there's no feedback in the stick, the clutch pedal is fully dead and feels more like a switch than a pedal, the anti roll back, the electronic e-brake, the lockouts for shifting wrong, and the insane gearing ratio that has me doing 70km/hr in 6th gear.... it may as well be an automatic.
I hope I can get one more non-ev in my lifetime. :grillman:
