Seems like a nicely balanced perspective. I don't drive much, but when I do, I much prefer 'manual' (translation of 'stick' to non-US English), and take pleasure in smooth heel-and-toe changes. I'm mostly a motorcyclist and similarly enjoy getting better at smooth braking with changing down and rev-matching. But if electric motorbikes become usable and affordable to me within my lifetime, they will offer different pleasures (ubiquitous torque, quiet). And outside of driving/riding, there will be enough pleasures to experience and skills to learn for many lifetimes.
