When we bought a new car 2 years ago I asked about the manual option. They said it was no longer available on any car in Taiwan. WTF!!! This is a seriously mountainous country where a stick would be of most use.

Not being able to drive stick was a good way to get out of details in Afghanistan with the Toyota hi-lux pickup we used around camp.

I think this can often be attributed to deraillers that don't work anymore and said female just wants to get from A to B, no intention of doing anything remotely like maintenance.

Not sure why the manual is going the way of crank windows -- which I also prefer to electric because control is better and you don't need the keys to operate them.

Many decades ago, on a three-lane each direction congested road where I was lane-splitting between the right lane and the center lane, a motorist did this right in front of me. I stopped, picked it up (still lit) and dropped it onto his lap. I didn't stick around for his response and there was no way any motorist could catch up to a bike in that environment.
