Last night my wife was driving us to dinner. Three snowflakes fell from the sky. She slowed down to half the speed limit, hunched over the wheel with a death grip and stared straight ahead. All I could think was "Oh oh here we go. Buick time".

Of course, by the time some of you youngsters are that age you won't need a driver's license since you'll only be able to drive a car on a closed track....in the artic circle....only at the equinox...with a gold ticket.
Oh, it's not far away for us. Those years are ticking by faster and faster.

My dad was 56 when he kicked the bucket. I probably won't make it much further anyhow.

tl;dr entire post.

Experience the manual now. Automatics (paddles) will be around for a long time. Manuals are quickly becoming an old technology. Embrace this wonderful old tech now while you still have this option. If it wasn't for my dodgy left knee .... I would be driving manuals for a life time.

You can compromise by installing curb feelers on your FR-S, all around the car. I wonder how many young'uns today know what curb feelers are.

Probable not many remember those........

I doubt they would do me much good ...... since I can't hear too good.

Do they have them that would send an electrical impulse to the drivers seat ..... ??
