      I can't even let the handbrake off in a car without feeling twitchy about the seatbelt. Hell, it's instinctive even as a passenger to start buckling up. Masks and cycle helmets. One is possibly halfway from the other, chronologically. This could get messy....

      i mean, that's a culture-change thing, though. Nobody was twitchy about seatbelts in the 1970s. People successfully changed the culture around seatbelts precisely because a) they're very effective and b) they're a thing that has to be an unconscious habit in order to work.

      I have a whole thing about how much I rely on ingrained, mechanical habits to function and how this apparently offends other people Like my dad gave me shit for always reaching for the turn signal to turn regardless of whether there were other cars around

      It's the same shit with the assholes who insist that manual is better because you have to think about shifting. Like, okay...but what happens when thinking about shifting distracts me from domething else?

      I'm not racing, I don't need the advantage that shifting at just the right time gives. Most of us are commuting or working, we need to be able to go and to stop and to turn and to do all that while other cars do the same.

      My absolute favorite part of the manual vs automatic debate is that modern automatics are better than manuals in literally every possible way and professional racers use paddles (aka automatics you control manually) when able because of this. It's extremely funny to me

      The best defense of manuals for the everyday consumer is financial It knocks several thousand dollars off the purchase price of a car (both new and used), it's one less (very expensive) system that might break, it gets better mileage, it makes you less attractive to thieves

          Of course this is offset by however much it costs you in your time and effort to learn to drive stick but it's still a real consideration

          The price difference in new cars is usually a grand or less (and in some cases zero) and current automatics commonly outperform manuals in fuel efficiency, assuming you are shifting perfectly The car thief thing may be true but I have no idea how to measure or quantify that

          Manual transmissions also break faster and need to be replaced much more often, so even assuming better fuel efficiency, the cost analysis skews more the other way the longer you own the car
