that's an amusing bit of role reversal. I know a few guys who drive sticks primarily to make sure their wife/girlfriend will never drive their vehicle. :rolleyes:

Yes, I know. I grew up with men, and he grew up with mostly women. I married the art major of the family. It's a bad sign when you go into the marriage with more power tools than your husband.;P

His real excuse is because he is a smoker. There is no possible way he can drive, run the clutch and smoke.

can it convert meters per second to furlongs per fortnight? da...arn![^] :laugh: (it's an old joke. My first job here had a metric requirement, due to international standards, and current requirements -- at the unveiling, the first comment was "I don't understand those units, put them in English units." -- My response was, would you like that in furlongs per fortnight?)

I'm going mountain biking today then making a Dal for dinner and probably doing some sunbathing in between. (I'm on semi holidays until september).

"110%" - it's the new 70%

and at ~60cm/hour it's really not that hard to actually give a rough conversion mentally. Anyone in the us who can't do metric will probably think you memorized the values in that grotesque unit. :laugh: I really need to get the speed of light bumper sticker in those units one of these days.:-D

"...tis a good idea, and doth be the law." I've seen it online before.

In my case, my parents don't drive stick so they never borrowed my truck :-D

Exactly my thoughts. I learned in an empty parking lot and 10 minutes later I was a pro at it... Learned on an old 1963 Karmann Ghia :-D

That is one good looking car! You don't see them too often any more. :sigh:

You sure don't. I remember getting pulled over by the cops all the time just because they wanted to check out the car :laugh: I think my grandfather still has it but he doesn't want to bother restoring it. He says it would cost too much right now. I've tried to tell him it may be worth something in the long run.
