buy all the manual beaters you can find, when one dies move on to the next one. for the cost of a new EV (im guessing about $60k) you could have around 30 manual beaters (if you buy them for around $2000)
It actually seems like some don’t relate. Sticks were not cool nor strange when I took my driving test in one. It is second nature. And was for the majority of us who came of age in the 80s.
