Stuck in Traffic? Try This Device!

I agree, but the trouble is that stickshift is hard to find these days, especially in an SUV. Shame.

I think everyone should know how to drive a stick. What happens if you're stuck somewhere and there's an emergency and that's the only thing available?

I used the same argument for the boat for years and GB finally learned how to drive it

I agree LL. BUT, there are two people who should not teach you...one is your dad, the other a boyfriend. Bringing back horrible memories. Think that was the only time my dad ever agreed with one of my boyfriends -- finally learned -- boyfriend gone (I didn't need to hear him scream at me like that, that's what dad was for!)

Agreed, I learned to drive in my dad's Ford truck. It was 3 on the column. I loved it!!!!

My folks had the best solution. They put me in a two ton pulp wood truck in the middle of our hayfield and let me figure it out for myself. I was 12. I'm not kidding.

Please tell me they didn't teach you how to swim by throwing you out of the boat!

Nope, my granny taught me to swim in the lake outlet at Western Lake about twenty seven years ago.

Now that sounds like some fun to me

It was hysterical. If you popped the clutch and hit the gas at the same time in second gear, you could get the front end to hop up and down like one of those Mexican Lowrider things. It was so much fun.
