I learned the concept of throttle, clutch, and gears by learning to ride a 50cc dirt bike. Then, one day, when my dad's friend left his 1983 BMW 3 series at our house, I decided to take what I learned from riding a dirt bike and apply it to a car. Done. I was 13 and taught myself to drive a manual transmission. …

No doubt, the highest concentration I have ever witnessed. I work in West LA/Santa Monica, and I swear it is close to 30%.

Maybe to add one molecule of "difference" to an otherwise indistinguishable ride?

I clasp my hands together tightly, clench my eyes shut and pray that this fad is over. Amen.

Yes!!!!
