Do you have the leverage to get those brakes as far down as they need to to stop safely?

Hi there friend, would you kindly get the heck out of my nightmares?

Responding to the rest of your comment: I love driving a manual transmission. My first three cars were manuals, and we have two automatics right now, but my next car in a year or so will probably be something fun and agile with a manual. Or EV of course, depending on what's available for the price at the time.
