Psychology

Why is it that, regardless how much of a POS it is, when you drive a car with a manual transmission you feel like you're in a race car? I own a ten-year-old Honda Civic. Its engine displaces 1.5 liters, or 92 cubic inches. It could only go 100 mph if I drove it off a cliff.

But when I get on the highway I feel like friggin' Andretti. Why is that?
