No, no, no! Dearborn did not get any call from the White House. No, sir, no offer that Ford couldn't refuse was made. No, siree!

Just pull its fuse out.

As in Government Motors wanted to track drivers?

Most posts here boil down to: "I can drive stick, I'm da man, and you can't, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!"

Yet favor an antediluvian technology???

And even in Europe more and more automatics are being bought, especially since automated transmissions became available, which don't penalize mileage where gas costs upwards of $10/gal.

One certainly is led to believe that you do think that shifting a stick is a special skill, since you stated that others don't have certain skills.

I guess that such a comment falls into the category of thinking that one's skill makes one better than everyone else.

I enjoy to shift it manually when I want better control of the car around curves. Especially because the transmission in my Acura blocks the torque converter more aggressively in this mode.

I can drive a stick, have driven stick for half of my life as a licensed driver, but I prefer an automatic, especially a DCT.

Indeed, I see more middle-aged folks trying to be hip than 20-somethings.

Bottom line: the hipsters drive stick. Is this Jalopnik of Gawker?

In Soviet America the White House censors your advertisement.

"We build electric version (E-REV) of your favorite trucks and SUVs."

And Christian Fittipaldi, Roberto Moreno, Hélio Castroneves, Gil de Ferran. She's never matched even the least successful Brazilian Indy driver.

This is the only speed sign that I want.

Of the 30 Brazilian F1 drivers, half of them accomplished significant results, including 3 who were world champions more than once and they became racing legends.

Nascar fans approve of this message.
