I miss driving a stick transmission...much more control of the vehicle. One time I had to drive a "3-in-the-tree" (three gears with gearshift on the steering column). Talk about an odd feeling and grinding those gears!

My first car was a double de-clutch manual transmission. That would blow peoples mind these days!

No one in the U.S. can drive a manual transmission anymore. My wife and I are the exception. Parking attendants make me park my old Toyota myself.

Hell of a morning. Old lady stalled her car in the road and I had to help her find reverse on the hire car…. Traffic backed up and much honking of horns.Why would a garage give her a stick shift to replace her automatic car? Asking for trouble..

Bitcoin might not solve this but ranting about it is making me feel better!
