I used to always drive a pickup since we had a farm. This is the first car I've ever owned. I got rid of my pickup because it was clutch and my husband didn't want to learn.

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:

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?)

What are you doing this weekend? :) My mother's leaving on Sunday, so I'll pick up a couple of cooking tips before that. I might have to take her out to visit some relatives tomorrow. Sunday I have to go to an office party or something of that sort. :|
Cheers, Vıkram.
After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

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

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.

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.
