All fathers must know and teach their son/daughter how to drive a manual transmission. Anyone can drive an automatic.

How about a Wartburg 311 from East Germany which came in a sedan, wagon, coupe, truck and roadster?

@00MustangGT: 1975 Reliant Robin, actually.

As a New Yorker, I recommend stopping by the Museum of the City of New York where there's an exhibition on cars called Cars, Culture, and the City.

Mercury, forgotten brand of the Ford Motor Company, died Wednesday in Dearborn, Michigan.

@Jagvar: "Roy Gullickson purchased the Packard name in 1995, hoping to revive the brand (last seen in 1958) with an all-new luxury sedan. Called the Packard Twelve, the car sported an 8.6-liter, 460-hp aluminum-block V-12 and all-wheel-drive. One prototype was built in 1998, but the project never continued."

That voice is really annoying.

For some reason, I was tempted to post this.

Gizmodo, Jezebel and Lifehacker in one room? What an odd combo.

@rodrigotrigo: That sounds like a good idea.
