Please don't give them ideas.

Mmmm, manual.

The fact that it’s a manual ruins the joke. They don’t make manuals anymore, and no one who owns one would put that windshield on it.

Not most standard cars, no. Mazda still sells one or two manuals. Cadillac still had at least one as late as last year. They're almost dead, but not quite. I walk, bike or take public transportation most of the time. Sometimes I'll go a few months without driving. Still, I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I give up the stick shift.

Bad ragebait is bad

they'll probably do this with those self-driving robotaxis

I've seen a few of this exact same meme now; guessing it's a tiktok thing now?

Most cars in the rest of the world are manual.

New ones aren’t. In fact, most new cars in Europe are electric.

So unless there’s some manual electric out there I haven’t heard of I’d say most new cars are automatic.

☝️🤓 ACKSHUALLY

EVs aren't automatic, either. They just have a single, fixed gear like those hipster bikes from a few years back.

Even better. If you get into accident, it'll be your fault for not paying the subscription.

I always thought it seemed kind of dumb to own a manual nowadays considering how prevalent automatics are and how simple they are to drive. I had never ridden a manual but it seemed like too much work.

Well I got a motorcycle earlier this year (most are manual), and now I definitely understand the appeal of a manual vehicle. I actually get annoyed at my automatic car due to the lack of throttle response compared to my bike. It's a lot more fun on the bike. And I have a slow as fuck bike.

But I still don't know if I would replace my car with a manual car because it can also be nice to just chill while driving.

Idk why, but I got secondhand anxiety from him seeing by sticking his head out the window. I know it was for the video, but he was actually driving.
