Probably no loss, 90% of them would end up being automatics used to tool up and down suburban boulevards.
Check out the rest of Jalopnik Detroit and come back to me if you think all we do is spend all our available pixels standing up for poor hipsters.
I love my car because it's my freedom device. If I feel like relaxing and listening to music, I take it out for a spin. Not going anywhere in particular, just because I love driving it.
