Comment on They won't teach you this in Drivers Ed

Am US citizen, only drive manual transmissions. Anyone here who likes cars can drive a manual transmission, anyone who doesn’t like cars doesn’t give a shit about a manual transmission and just wants to get where they’re going.

We invented cars, we’re allowed to decide how they evolve.

American too. I don’t really like cars, but if I have to drive one, I would prefer one with a manual transmission. Unfortunately, my current car doesn’t have one because they don’t put them in affordable cars anymore.

  Because they’re objectively worse in all measures other than fun

    Maybe, but when I had a manual Toyota Corolla in the 90s, I felt like I was able to control the car so much better than any of the automatics I’ve had since.

    What does “control” mean to you?

    Because they’re objectively worse in all measures other than ~~fun~~ control.
