I joked I was gonna teach my son how to drive a manual just in time for electric cars to render them entirely obsolete…
but at least he’ll be prepared if the zombie apocalypse happens in the next 10-15 years…

RBWells@lemmy.world 3 days agoI 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 drink one night so I had to drive home, when I was a teenager, and the drunk kid’s car was manual.

I dunno, it seems way more possible to set up some solar charging arrangement for an electric vehicle than to somehow find and pump gas into a gas powered car!

Yeah but the equipment to repair the electric car might my significantly harder to source.

As a Brit, I still find it staggering that some places allow you to drive a manual without having learned how to. It’s two separate licences over here.

Interesting. In Canada you can now drive a 11,000kg rv without any kind of special licence. Not sure how I feel about that one.

Does that sounds a bit ominous to anyone else? :D

Well I’m certainly not having any more of them!
