The 2007 had a MT and was fun. Through some miracle there was no traffic 
when I played with a Mini on California SR 1. The Mini kept up and 
eventually turned off at a restaurant past Big Sur.

Unfortunately the narration in the second is in Japanese.

When a cop came up on the passenger side and I reached across to roll down 
the window his first words were "I didn't know they made cars with manual 
windows anymore.".  The current one does have power windows and door 
locks. No remote entry but Toyota puts the parts in j.i.c. The 2007 didn't 
have a radio but I was happy to find it had speakers and a harness. A dash 
kit and pigtail and I was good to go.

I didn't think about it until I was stopped for road construction at the

I have to be careful. The one I have is a genuine Yaris with the same 
engine the original one had. The 5-doors are rebadged Mazda 2s with Mazda 
engines. Even the oil filters are different. It only has one wiper. I had 
a counter guy at Napa actually go out to verify it didn't have the two 
blades the book said.

Consumer Reports said it was a piece of crap only suitable for the city. 
The furthest I made it was Virginia when I crossed over at the Breaks 
Interstate Park. I lose enthusiasm fast when I leave the Rocky Mountain 
Front but I wanted to do some hiking in the Appalachians. It rained and 
continued to rain until I crossed back over Wolf Creek Pass. I met a box 
turtle walking down the trail at the Frozen Head SP in Tennessee locking 
for a dry place to live.


Come to think of it, when I went back to the northeast in 2004 it rained. 
I tend to forget that the east is a humid swamp.

I'm not so sure about "takeover worldwide".  In the US market manual 
transmissions are but a tiny tiny sliver of the sales pie.  Such that 
most models outside of sports cars (and even most of the sports cars 
offer automatics as an option) and trucks are automatic only.

Indeed, with the exception of professional race car drivers, most 
modern automatics will by far "outshift" an average joe's ability to 
manipulate the gears in a manual.

In the US, with the exception of some sports car models (and maybe a 
few truck models) it is all but impossible to buy a manual gearbox car.

As TNP said earler on in the thread, in Europe/Brittan such is not the 
case as manual transmissions are more prevalent.  I do not know 
anything re. the China market to even hazzard a guess for that marked.

My 2007 Yaris had a 5 speed MT. I'd love to get my hands on the 6 speed GR 
Yaris but it isn't sold in the US. Maybe I could smuggle one from Mexico 
unless we declare war first.

I bought my last new car with manual shift in 1990. Used cars after
that, a new Mini with automatic in 2018. The next car will be electric
anyway.

If you like, consider "gearshift" as "a lever that selects a drive 
mode" such that it covers the 2% manual transmission folks, and the 
"PRND2L" handle for an automatic.  Although some, newer automatics, do 
have the "PRND2L" as "buttons on the dash" -- so in those cases there 
isn't a gearshift lever at all...

The Honda Fit had paddle shifters on the steering wheel, iirc.

I have a rotary knob, a few buttons and steering wheel paddles.
Can be anything from 'grandad mode' to virtually full on race mode with 
manual shifts.
Todays auto boxes are so much better than they were in the 1970s.

My '60 Plymouth had buttons on the dash...

https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/automotive-history-
the-mysterious-disappearance-of-the-chrysler-pushbutton-automatic-a-
government-conspiracy/

Other manufacturers had pushbuttons too. iirc Packard had them in the 
middle of the steering wheel.  Corvair had a lever on the dash.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvair_Powerglide

None of those were shift by wire, unless you count the cable going to the 
transmission as a 'wire'.

I think the move to floor shift ATs was to standardize the location. 
Chrysler Corp MTs in that era were 3 on the tree.

This is why you should consider the attitudes of the developers and
their philosophy.  If you decide to go with software maintained and
developed by those who have a "move fast and break things" kind of
attitude, you will have to accept, that things will move fast... and
break.  If the developers are opinionated, and have a "vision", then you
are going to have to accept that they will impose their vision, and your
experience will be as they think it should be.

I value stability and consistency and self-empowerment, so I tend to go
with software which is mature, doesn't really change and is, more or
less, already in its groove.  Software like Emacs, Mutt, FVWM,
Claws-mail, Groff, urxvt and mpd.

I did for a bit, use some theme for KDE called Liquid I think which had
a glass bead look.  The Apple liquid glass is hard to read in places,
impressive in others, but otherwise, just a fad that will look "dated"
eventually.

But now, I'm wiser, and all that "aesthetics" is just wankery.  My
current desktop looks straight from the 90s, the only thing that gives
away that its not from 1999 is the higher resolution.  Everything will
look dated eventually, so may as well stay with something already dated,
than constantly change the next thing that will end up dated anyway.

I use a vaguely OS/X styled button and bars for the windows. That work 
pretty much like OS/X buttons and bars do., It was the only part of OS/X 
I liked

I have two screen bars - applications virtual screens  and widgets on an 
auto hiding top bar, and my commonly used programs on an autohiding side 
bar.

My desktop might as well be /tmp as it contains nothing of any 
permanence except 'places'

No reason why a fork has to change things very much at all.

Look at what happened with the XFree86-vs-Xorg fork: that switch happened 
very quickly, and with very little user complaint.

I do recall that change, and it was rather seamless.  Almost forgot
XFree86 existed.

My point is better illustrated by GNOME 3.  It was a departure from
GNOME 2, but GNOME 2 lived on as MATE.  Now, you could continue your
GNOME 2 experience with MATE, or our KDE 3 experience with Trinity, but
there is still a disruption as you migrate from one to another.
Granted, a one time short disruption.

These forks, from what I saw, changed little, however I chose FVWM
because my impression was that there wouldn't arise a situation where it
would suddenly change, necessiting the migration to a fork in the first
place.

So you pick and choose anecdotes to reinforce your particular take on 
things: that’s not the way to identify patterns that apply more generally.

I use Gnome, set up like Ubuntu does it.

I don't have huge experience, but coming from MS Windows, I preferred it.

I don't like heavy menu stuff as I can never find anything, so I prefer 
a few icons and text search. It is quite possible other window managers 
are much better, and that I just don't give them a chance.

I suspect I'm quite normal, threads like this might be skewed by people 
who have a specific interest, as opposed to standard users like me.
