This is a great discussion on the pure pleasures of driving for driving's sake. The beauty of a non-snycro transimission is the fact that it makes you slow down and enjoy the world a bit more.
I can say from much personal experience that if I'm in a hurry in my bolt, it lets me know! When you are impatient, the truck makes it clear that you should relax and take it easy.
If I take it slow, work through the gears with patience and determination, there is a symbiotic relationship between human and machine that is not like any experience I have had. The dance of the feet, the sounds of the engine and the song of the gears winding up or down it just great.
The chevy four speed is never going to be a barn burner, but it sure makes you appreciate the driving experience.
