STICK SHIFT!!!!!

Stick shift transmission is so much more fun to drive. I was determined to only drive automatic, then my grandpa basically forced me to start learning to drive stick shift, since that was what his truck was (i work for him). It's a lot more fun, and now thats ALL I want to drive.

Once you know the friction point and your "turning" gear (the gear you use to turn onto another road w/o making a stop, for me its 2nd gear), its extremely easy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, and when someone's riding your ass you can use compression braking to slow down real fast without ever hitting your brakes and scare them. And you'll be in the right gear so that when they slam on their breaks you can floor it and go like a bat out of hell. THAT'S fun.

Wait what's compression breaking?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
