Why I not laugh? Oh yeah, am not funny really...

Q. Does every vehicle in USA have an automatic transmission? Why is that? I would guess its simply because most of the roads are long and straight, so no skill is required with regards to shifting up and down at the correct time. Ofcourse, saying something like that might cause a heated debate...

Wait... if ben never uses the brakes, just downshifts, he has a stick. But if his car shifts into 5th at 90mph then he has a automatic... Something doesn't add up here.

My landcruiser is a stick....

Get me back into RC!

Could be because it takes us more than 15 minutes to get from coast to coast

Shifting gets old about the time you hit 19.. I know, you kids think you'll drive like madmen til you're 90. Just wait.

Fun is riding a 30 year old streetbike and obliterating stunter kiddies in the curves.

I should mention that's with tires half as wide, with half the horsepower... and almost double the weight. Really gets them scratching their heads
