I got a lot of questions!

Easy floor shift, or the (according to OnG) impossible column shift?

When did I say impossible? You may prefer the column but I would take the floor if I had the choice.

You may be tested if you had a bad accident if there is reasonable suspicion that a test may be warranted.

I was involved in a Tier III and was not tested.

Wait! What?

They don't think you look like a doper?

Sure looks like a stoner too me.

I haven't driven a column shift since the early 70's, and I never said I preferred it. You stated it was a pain in the butt. I really don't see any difference.

Right now, my daily driver is the first automatic I've had since about 1972. Everything since has been a 4 or 5 speed on the floor.

Oh, and I just remembered the 1949, flathead, 3sp column shift Ford pickup that was basically my personal work truck at one job.

All my Parents owned at the time were stick.
Took my behind the wheel test in one.
Good place to practice might be an empty mall parking lot.
Seems to be quite a few nowadays...

How would you go about learning to drive a manual transmission

I suppose you could always rent one of those specialty cars from Avis or Hertz. Maybe a Shelby Mustang or a Demon. Then beat the out of it.

If you didn’t wrap it around a tree first

Wish UPS would buy some manuals again. Eaton Fuller 5&6 speeds are easy trannies to learn. They could go in the 24ft Vans atleast.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

Doesn't matter much, in about ten years driving a car will be illegal. They'll be driving themselves.

Anybody have any stories about people getting sent home from integrad

 

[champboston12]

The bid sheets look totally different and was just wondering what qualifications might differ as well.

 

[burrheadd]

Yeah this one guys creases weren’t sharp enough in his pants

Boom!! He gone

 

[Indecisi0n]

I heard a guy get DQ'ed because he stuttered while doing the 10 point. It's no joke now.

Where we're going we don't need roads.

My brother had an XL 125 when I first had my KL 250.

I was picking up from a snowmobile/motorcycle distributor at the time, and got him a Vance and Hines exhaust for it.

Shoulda been illegal as loud as it was.
