Yeah, I did, but ridiculously overstating it at 50 years, trying to make a point about buying new vs. used was self-defeating. It is perfectly reasonable to buy a new car and keep it 10 to 15 years; and it is quite financially responsible.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
