    feel like you’re operating a machine

    Funny because I’m assuming your truck has an automatic transmission. Try getting a very cheap, small car with manual transmission and tell me what feels more like driving a machine to you 😏 . The cheaper the better, because all those electronic aids like lane assist, traction control, adaptive cruise control, etc are just disconnecting you from the actual metal.

    I rented a small base model Peugeot 108 when on holiday on Crete a few weeks back. Nothing more exhilarating than taking that go-kart onto a mountain road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl3a-LWS_kE

    But honestly, thanks for the comment! I’m happy to learn why people like them so much!

      It’s almost 20 years old and doesn’t have automatic anything.
