I can pop the clutch in 2nd and do a smokey burnout (not talking about your sister).
The electric car will be the death of the manual transmission, not the auto.
I like technology, direct injection, turbos, long walks on the beach and kittens. No midlife crisis here, i dont need a penis car. Plenty of 2 seaters that fit that bill.
I imagine ill start complaining about kids on the lawn or shutting lights off soon enough, but until then ill pine over the fact that the affordable, manual, mid size sedan is dead.
Wish the Porsche panamera came in a manual, those are getting into obtainable prices with the first gen. Maybe ill just be a pleb and get an a4 and hate my life.
