Man, I remember those.
After only owning/driving them for 20+ years, I finally just swapped from a manual to an automatic. Suddenly want to see if there's an aftermarket kit to make a foot switch work for my car. I mean, my left foot has to do something
I refuse to give up manual transmissions.
I've decided I'll compromise and give it up for an EV, probably for my next car, assuming I can get a Chinese one (would have never expected to say something like that just a few years ago).
Though maybe if my current car dies before I can do that I'll try to get a pre-18 MT something or another. Something without touch screens and outside connections other than AM/FM radio.
Though the kid inside me also wants a fun car since I can now afford it might just rent a Ferrari or something for a few laps around a track to get that out of my system. Probably an or something since the top end cars don't even come with MT anymore. I don't even care that stick shift isn't peak performance anymore, it's more fun and using a clutch is engaging (heh).
I've owned an 2012 Nissan Leaf and I currently drive a 2017 Kia Soul EV. I will never go back. Those Chinese cars are awesome, though (too bad can't get them in US). I live in Hawai'i, on O'ahu, where longer range is not needed. My Kia still gets about 125 miles to a charge (if I finesse how I drive and don't run the A/C) and I can go from one side of the island and back on that. But I had the Leaf when I lived in Florida and it got maybe 50 miles to a charge and that was... well, I learned about "range anxiety" with that one.
What I really dislike about the newer US EVs is that they are, increasingly, enormous. My Kia Soul is perfect. But the US is obsessed with every vehicle being the size of a studio apartment for some reason.
Yeah, I still feel the same, but car was scratching at 20 years old and maintenance was becoming more than I have time for these days. So swapped to an (almost) new hybrid.
I regret it almost every day (not that the hybrid is bad; its just not the same feel. Plus all these newfangled sensors are a bitch).
My 2006 xB is too modern for me. I'm looking for a late 80s pickup. I want carburetors again.
