I really want to learn to drive manual, but everyone that has one and says they'll teach me it never happens. I'll end up buying a cheap manual junker and teaching myself Home from work, had an oddly good day there, if i were to believe in omens, something pretty good should happen soon, hope i win the lotto

I miss driving a stick, I did it for about 15 years or so. I think I'll get another one soon I'd like another s10. No cars tho because I always drive 'em like a race car.

I've driven a manual for so long that it doesn't really bother me driving it in town as long as my knee isn't in too bad of shape. That's the only issue I have is my left knee. Drives me nuts.

I got home a few minutes ago. Busy night again at the mousehouse. I am glad tonight is over.
Amy I am glad you are going or went home. Don't worry about the sweats. I am sure on you they never looked better. Lol. I have a habit of trying to make a girl feel good. Hope it is working.

I have driven standard for years off and on. My work van is a stick. When I can I will post a pick. It would make an awesome WTF puzzle. When you get real good at driving a stick you only need the clutch when you start and stop. No aggressive driving there though because you shift by sound. The most fun stick I have driven would have to be a VW Rabbit. Mid eighties. That car was a blast. I miss it.
