How to measure twice

common courtesy
personal responsibility
turn signals

these are things that seem to have been lost on our way to the matrix

Sorry I grew up on a farm and find it a very necessary skill. Like someone else said, cool cars have paddle shifters and DSGs.

Fixed it for you.

Having the ability and willingness to learn.

The last time I had a digital watch was when I was 13 and it had a calculator on it and got beaten up daily.

You're in luck - you can get those again!

you obviously have never driven a nice car. why the hell would i want an automatic audi, bmw, mercedes, etc.

I doubt I'll ever own one of those cars because I don't enjoy needlessly throwing away money. That, and I don't need to compensate for having a small ****.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I know how to drive a manual - but why would I want to when I drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic daily? That seems even more moronic than not knowing how to drive a manual.

I see no need for #2 for the vast majority of people. 95% of cars (I'm guessing) come with an automatic transmission. I've made it through 34 years of life w/o having to drive one, and I plan on continuing this trend for the rest of my life. Why would I learn to do something that is utterly and completely useless to me?

I can't believe any man would admit to not knowing how to drive a stick. :smile:

Let's say you rob a bank with a buddy and you ride in his car. Let's say your buddy gets shot or something and you run out to the getaway car and find out it's a stick. What you gonna do then? Huh? Huh?

Drop the money and run?

 

[bos]

Well maybe keep some, whatever I can carry. I would then kick over an old lady and run down an alley.

I'll admit, I need some more practice at this one.

 

[oldman]

A car with a manual shift is rarely stolen. Sure can screw up a car jacking, too.

Nunchuck skills are necessary unless you feel you're not under the threat of ninja attack, which is exactly what the ninjas want you to think.

Stick shifts are for semis and sports cars. If you drive one outside of those exceptions, it's because you're poor, not unskilled.

Ignorance is bliss.

Drop the money and run?

Don't drop it. You gotta take the money and run. Especially if you shoot a man while robbing his castle. Go on.

 

[bos]

Depends on the weight. Money is heavy.

But I don't want to hurt no one.

Depends on the weight. Money is heavy.

even moreso if you hurt your lower lumbar. You know you won't get far riding around in a stolen police car.

but most of those are automatics, so you're probably good.
