With all of these car companies trying

2023-10-19 04:10:02.68671+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

With all of these car companies trying for patents on reproducing the experience of driving a manual transmission in an electric car, I'm gonna put out there as prior art the idea of driving a carbureted, pre fuel-injection, car.

Get the choke settings wrong? Gotta wait for half an hour for the flooding to clear. Cold? Yeah, now it's a race between your battery and cranking sounds to see if it's gonna catch.

Bonus: the unburned hydrocarbons air freshener dangling from the mirror.`
