Maybe we need to start a mentoring program for new drivers. Give 'em some track time in a manual transmission 1 Series or a BRZ before they get to purchase their first car.
And then you could tell them how movies used to cost a nickel and how you used to walk 10 miles to school without shoes! Great stories! Very interesting! Damn young kids these days!
