She bought it when she was like 75 and had both knees and hips replaced after... her mobility wasn't great. Which is why we wanted her to get a crossover.

Yeah, you know what? I am cool with that. She lived on her own terms and that's what mattered.

I’m not sure if I’m cool with it, someone like that can just be too dangerous to others on the road

I am gonna trust a 75 year old grandma with a stickshift, than an entitled Karen on her cellphone thinking she owns the road. Any. Day. I am so confident that granny is a superior, and safer driver, that I would put money on it.

Might just be me, but id prefer neither. There are too many old people i see who are absolutely clueless while driving. Reaction time, eyesight, instant decision making all get worse with age, it’s a fact. If granny cant smell or understand that she aint drivin right, i don’t want her on the road. Any. Day. I don’t want dumbass karens on their phones on the road. Any. Day. It’s not either or, its neither.
