I haven't ridden in a "new auto". John has not ridden with me shifting a Jerico manual trans. If we each rode with the other I'd bet the farm that he'd be way more impressed than I.

Stockton FD is impressive.

A couple months ago my favorite carpenter's Yukon pulled a GM and about fell apart. I fixed a rusty brake line, some ball joints, hub, fluid changes, ect. Also, I moved my family into my mother's house. An empty house = easier to work on. Today my carpenter brought a buddy to the basement and we relocated a beam to fit into the concrete wall (as opposed to using a post against the wall) and frame up the staircase (to use as a closet) and a bathroom wall. I should have used a spacer to create a void in the concrete when pouring the wall, but I overlooked that at the time. It's good to make some progress, and good that the progress will (hopefully) continue through winter time. I planned on it being easier to get a carpenter into a warm/dry basement during cold/rainy season. (Of course, the heat pump went out the weekend we moved, so I've gotta jump that unexpected hurdle too.) And I think my wife said I could fix up a car after the house addition was finished. But at this point I can't remember where I parked it....

But, it would be pretty funny to see an empty car get pulled over...there's gotta be a first time. A few million views on the 'Tube would pay for it. You da man....

I live near the extended end of a runway at Paducah's airport. I've wandered about the odds of a crash nearby. Several days ago a Paducah Dr/pilot was killed about an equal distance away from the other runway. https://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/Doctor-who-grew-up-in-Gatlinburg-dies-in-Kentucky-plane-crash-564345351.html

But when are you gonna put all that radio control FPV stuff on the car and drive from your couch?

I cheat. I've got a synchronizer-free manual. 68 lbs w/fluid. It probably gets a couple degrees hotter during a pass. Why does your automatic need a cooler for itself?? I rest my case.

Fixed?

No, but I never thought the dude on the Wheaties box would think he was a woman either.

^ Torque converters have been jealous of the clutch dump for decades. Kinda interesting, might be very similar to a water brake dyno operation.

Ahhhh....a clutch pedal.

I don't know much about an iPhone, but I'm glad your car is equipped with iShift.

Now, time to show us some WOT shifts....
