Outdated technology.

Stick shifts are dumb, old technology and they must get rid of them forever!
I'll bet you don't own a typewriter. You probably don't even know how to use a typewriter either!
You probably drive a car and you don't own a horse and buggy.
You probably have a cellphone and you don't look around trying to find a pay phone. You probably don't even have a phone in your house attached to the wall.
You probably also have a CD player and DVD player.
You don't own a cassette player or a VHS player.
You have a calculator on your cellphone, you don't know how to use a slide rule. You might not even know what a slide rule is.
You have a GPS in your car and/or on your phone. You will never need to look at a paper map again.
If you have a gun, I'll bet it's either a semiautomatic handgun or a pump action shotgun or some similar, modern style gun, not a muzzleloader.
You probably have a debit card and you very rarely write paper checks.
You carry cash made out of paper, silver and copper. Not clam shells that wash up on the beach or gold rocks and dust, like people used Thousands of years ago.
Just like everyone else in the US, you either throw your pennies in a jar at home or throw them all out your car window, because you don't give a shit about the damn things!
All the above mentioned crap is old, obsolete technology! We don't need, want or understand most of that old shit anymore! Nobody wants to buy it and if any company continued making that junk, the company would go broke, because no one would ever buy that stupid old junk! Stick shifts are getting to be that way to!
I hate them, can't drive the damn things and I don't give a damn about them! To hell  with stick shifts! They are obsolete technology! They are making less and less of them each year and starting to phase them out of existence! Good! Cause, I hate the useless things!
