Driving stick is fine, but I still prefer automatic. It's just more convenient.

What about lifetime transmission fluid and no dipstick to check level/color?

The perfect truth of this meme is why I can never own an electric car.

What is that retro-looking thing on the right?

(Also why are my question marks getting cut off? I typed 9 of them but only 3 show up.)

If you made an electric conversion and used an induction motor it could still be stick! Induction motors have a narrow range of useful rmps so the transmission is still needed!

Hurst "Lightning Rods" from the 80s. Basically a flashy way to manually shift an automatic transmission.

Good write up and explanation here: https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/a-cool-idea-at-the-time-the-hurst-lightning-rods-shifter/

My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can't find one to rent and I'm not buying a whole car for a few weeks' training.
