I only will ever own pure gasoline powered cars. No hybrid, no EV. And not even an automatic transmission.

To paraphrase Charlton Heston, they’ll have to pry my manual transmission shifter from my cold, dead right hand.

There's a super bright yellow CT roaming the streets near me. If ever a vehicle screamed "HEY!!! LOOK AT ME!!!" it's this one.
