Good Boomer. My parents know how to drive manual but buying second hand and being poor meant they didn’t have much options. It wasn’t until my 3rd car that I was able to buy manual. 

They’ve only not sucked recently, manuals were on the decline long before that. 

So what you are saying is only enthusiasts no matter the age drive manual? My point was that manuals in common cars have been on the decline for a while and it’s the older generations that have been around for a while purchasing the autos. By the time millennials started driving you’d be lucky if your parents owned a…

2016 and 2018 manual owner checking in. 

I blame the Boomers for this, for being too lazy and having shitty knees to row their own, and for not teaching their children to drive them leading less and less sales and finally for complaining and blaming Millennials about their own failings. Electrics are cool though. 

So that reporter is just going to stand next to that rock and ignore the googly eyes?

Still a FWD CVT? Meh. 

It needs to escape out of my sight! HA!

I can see the differences, the problem is the differences are too small and the cars are largely similar so from a quick glance and if it wasn’t for badges, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what brand the car was.

I assume it was an auto trans also so that did him no favors. 

Add 2 doors and give me a manual RWD V8 Mustang wagon and I’ll buy one. I’ll need a dad-mobile in a few years and that would be perfect. I’ll even buy it new. Brown is optional as long as there are colors besides gray scale.

That line drawing of the silhouette makes it seem like it’d be a really nice shooting brake mustang, then you scroll down and are met with a cammo’d front end that’s 4 feet tall not including the greenhouse and you try not to retch.

If it wasn’t for the center caps on the wheels and you mentioning the Altima was also included in there ( couldn’t make out the center cap) I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what was what. 

The smaller one looks like an autocross course setup in a parking lot, the other is a horse track. But one F1 race a year will probably disrupt less than an NFL game and certainly less than the Superbowl. 

The Beast

I cringe whenever I see a FB acquaintance casually drop the soft N word or share memes that contain it. There’s often black people reacting and commenting but I’ve never seen her called out on it. I guess since she has a half black child she thinks it’s OK to say/use that word. 

I used to be pro-sun roof, then I tried to drive a WRX with a helmet. And my wife keeps the shade closed most of the time anyway. Might be better in your climate though. 

Speaking of too fat, a rule was passed that officers must be less than 40" waist for men and 34" for women. They are fighting it. 

Found the Subie driver! I was jokingly telling my wife I would get her a flat brimmed hat for Christmas. 

He’s going for that introspective, life changing, I almost died piece that someone commented were all the rage in the gizmodoverse
