I've been driving 25 years now. I've owned an automatic once. And it was a 1988 jeep commanche that I bought for very cheap in 2017 and drove it for about two years.

I've driven plenty of automatics. Family members, wife, work, rentals, they all have auto. And it's just so fucking boring.

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

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

There aren't any BEVs with this kind of manual transmissions. They just have 1 gear and are operated like automatics. And I am definitely not going back to DDD fuels (detonating dino diarrhea).

I can’t tell if this is serious or sarcastic…

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.
