Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times.

While we get easily impressed when an EV hits the 300-mile mark, that's something that you can easily get with a gas-powered vehicle. Not to mention that it's easier to gas up a vehicle due to the sheer commonality of fuel stations versus charging stations, as well as how quick it is to fill up versus to charge.

But having spent some time with the BMW i7's new Theater Mode, which includes a 31.3-inch 8K screen that gracefully slides down from the roof, they may have to revise that opinion.  There's no real RRP when it comes to a Rolls, while customers can specify pretty much any conceivable option they can dream up, so long as the budget stretches. But dig a little deeper and you’ll notice BMW has a big part to play in the story.Ever since...
