@astra_underscore@wetdry.world > Have you ever driven manual? Ever shifted gears from 4th to 2nd and the transmission started making *EXPENSIVE SOUNDS* Worst experience driving manual (and sincerely hoping nobody’s brain ever feels like this): On freeway, slowing down, need to downshift from third to second Get fourth instead The transmission simultaneously makes an *EXPENSIVE SOUND*, namely the linkage between the shifter and the actual gears going “spoing”. The car is stuck in fourth, having slowed down to first-gear speed. By dint of having slightly better low RPM torque than most cars, the world’s slowest 0 to (about) 60 mph since the 1890s, and a fortunate absence of red lights after the freeway exit, manage to get the car to a place where it can be towed safely.
