Why not teach the wife to drive stick? My girlfriend knows, but she isn't particularly good at it. I'm going to rectify that this summer because I've already told her that I don't plan on ever buying an automatic again (and by extension, us if we get married).
I hit the accelerator all the time when I brake... It's call heel-toe downshifting
Almost all of the problems with automatics and manuals that people are discussing here are bull. It comes down to personal preference at this point if you enjoy shifting or you could care less what gears do in a car. I personally like the benefit no one discusses about manuals: It limits who asks if they can drive my car
You are so correct... If we were smart, we'd use diesel like our European friends. Higher energy density, greater combustion efficiency, longer engine life, and not nearly as flammable. But soot looks dirty, so we stick with gas...
Most people want a candidate like that. But they won't vote for that candidate because "they don't have a chance".
Are you a star? I didn't say it wasn't possible to make more of it, but that we currently can't. If modern alchemy becomes possible, gold will be worthless as a currency.
It's valuable because you can't make more of it. You can find more, but it's a long, expensive process, and it get longer and more expensive the more you find. Kind of like Bitcoins actually...
I am glad someone points out the obvious. I work for a fortune 500 company and in our own small department management made a ridiculous parody video that probably cost well more than 60k. Not to mention the cost of showing to everyone (I mean forcing them to watch it, and in my case multiple times).
The government prints it.
Actually, in most cases we'd be better off treating our waste water and putting it right back in the drinking supply since municipal (not industrial) waste water effluent is cleaner than the bodies of water we are discharging to. Unfortunately people have this 'ick' factor with drinking their own former poo/pee despite it being cleaner than drinking our own poo/pee mixed with large quantities of nature's pollution.
Well until next month when the credit card gets maxed out again. Then we won't have the money until we have another slapfest between Rs and Ds over the debt ceiling.
That makes total sense. Let's punish all of those who were responsible and have saved for future to save those that spent beyond their means and have no way to pay back the debt they owe.
Funny since construction work is not an insignificant part of the economy and tends to be busiest during the summer months...
Obama keeps talking about how the rich need to pay their fair share. Well in the US you might be middle class, but in the world you are the 1%. So you'd better start paying your fair share!
Not that I've noticed. Then again, I haven't spilled it on anything white yet... (knock on wood)
I discovered it when I took the factory tour of Celestial Seasonings. It's a highly caffeinated black tea and is mighty good and according to the packaging more caffeinated than coffee. You can only get it at the factory and online though. I highly recommend it! CAN YOU TELL I AM DRINKING IT NOW?
Genetics explains why you look like your father, and if you don't, why you should.
