Car won't start? Push it down a hill, avoid running over my foot, and climb in before it pulls away from you.
This is how I got to nursery school on at least one occasion I can remember.
I love manual transmission, and miss it badly. It was awesome getting out of both mud and snow. Plus, I felt like I was actually driving the car, not guiding it.
Where's my manual electric car?!
What do you mean electric motors have no transmissions?!
I do like manual transmissions but I will happily drive my electric car with no transmission.
If I want to go faster it just goes faster, and faster, and faster. No lag, just faster.
I wish I could afford one 😭
They're getting cheaper quickly now that the Chinese automakers are ramping up exports. Give it a couple more years.
What do you mean electric motors have no transmissions?

Ahhh we had a different method - push it until you get to a decending road (don't know the right term in english lol) put in 2nd gear and start rolling while trying to start like maniac - worked every time lol
Descending works, but “a downhill road” would be the more conversational way to say it
That's basically what I described: down a hill. Although in my experience described above, it was not on a road.
So I didn't catch that, sorry I guess it's universal lol
Been able to push start an auto before just a bit fiddly holding in the override detent and jamming it in second
