Well, jokes on you because Range Rover do not refer to the middle picture as a "gear stick". Probably because there is nothing stick like about it.

I've been driving 25 years now. I've owned an automatic once. And it was a 1988 jeep commanche that I bought for very cheap in 2017 and drove it for about two years.

I've driven plenty of automatics. Family members, wife, work, rentals, they all have auto. And it's just so fucking boring.

All it took for me was a single drive home during Thanksgiving traffic; a trip that normally takes 10min took an hour, I swore off manual transmissions that day.

Automatic is objectively better. But I still meme about manual being better lol

Engine repairs are way more expensive. Higher chance of experiencing a cascade failure, too!

Better for literally everything else tho.
