Though it would eliminate texting and driving.

Exactly.

And eating and driving ... and reading and driving ... and putting on makeup while driving ... etc., etc.

In other words, it would force the motorist to actually DRIVE THE CAR. Imagine that! :-)

I do miss my old manual pickup.

A lot.

Also my Dad’s glasspack exhaust.

You are right, in some ways, but I drove a manual transmission truck up and down I-95 for 7 years while eating and drinking breakfasts and lunches.

Your remember the manual transmission cars that are relatively easy to drive. I inherited a 1979 Ford F-250, 4:11 gearing, 4x4, 4sp manual trans with rock crusher clutch.

Driving that vehicle is work.
