Can you drive a manual transmission? (lemm.ee)

And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

Disagree that fun driving is over. Have you driven a tesla?

[–] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have not.

Do they somehow make it fun to be queueing at a busy intersection?

Is driving 70km/h behind a truck somehow a blast if you're in a Tesla?

If so I'll make it a priority to try one out ASAP!

Are manuals fun in those instances?

[–] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

No car is fun in those instances. But that is how we spend the majority of our time on the road.

Hence, "fun driving is over".
