re: #87 Mateo Scrounge
Oddly enough, it was a snowstorm that allowed me to learn how to drive stick in my sister’s Pinto. Because the wheels would slip just a little, it didn’t do that JERK-a-JERK-a-JERK-a that you get when you’re doing it wrong. So I learned how to slip the clutch just a bit when starting off.
I miss a manual transmission.
