I've only learned to drive and have owned my car for a year now (I'm in my mid-30s), but I just love the engine of my petrol car starting. Often times I choose to drive with my radio turned-off just to hear the engine's sound. Mind you, is a regular 1.4l hatcchbak, nothing sporty or the like.

You have a valid point, but... anyone here misses typewriters? I didn't think so.

First of all, there was an article about Hanx Writer just the other day. Yes, there ARE people who miss typewriters.

Secondly, the word processor does countless things the typewriter cannot do, and does so with an order of magnitude more speed.

The automatic transmission does nothing a manual transmission cannot do (from the end user perspective), other than being ever so slightly less effort, and perhaps a few milliseconds faster in gearchange, which does not matter unless perhaps you are being paid for how fast you can get to the grocery store.

Freed of the tyranny of having to use your left foot for a clutch, what is it that you accomplish while driving an automatic that you could not before?

Hey there. You are arguing against a strawman...

Hi.

You completely missed my point, which was, that the desire to drive an ICE car is generational.

I don't miss typewriters, never having used them regularly, but they certainly have their advantages as well. If I were to take up something involving more writing I'd probably get one. I spend a lot of my writing time with paper and pen these days.
