I'm a car guy and far from manly. I drive a loud annoying stick shift because it's fun and life is too short to be bored while driving.

Life is too short to have to fucking drive everywhere.

Yeh, but unless I uproot my life and move to a different country, I'm stuck doing it, so I can either bitch and moan about how much I hate it, or have the best time I can doing it 🤷🏾‍♂️

For sure, I used to drive stick when I drove, but I also argued for town planning that would make driving optional. Personal choices to deal with the reality you're given, public policy activism for the reality you want.
