    NOT going to go there. Wouldn’t be prudent.

      And checking out their bumpers too, from the look of those headlights. 🙂

    Oft times, the manual is but a suggestion.

      Well, I was always taught that you had to read the manual to find out how its designers thought it was going to work, before you could correct it to reflect the way the darned thing actually worked.

        Eon,
        Three thumbs up. And I have only two hands.

    Somehow, I don’t think Zed minds when Sam runs him through the gears.

      Heh. FTW!
      Does that include downshifting?

      As long as everything is properly meshed and synchronized.
      Is there a limited slip somewhere in the mix…

    Zed doesn’t come WITH a manual, but then again, he’s not a self-starter either.

      To quote Indiana in ‘Raiders Of The Lost Ark’:

        Don’t forget Marion’s subsequent exchange:
        Where doesn’t it hurt?!
        Indy: HERE!
        …. :-*
        here’s not too bad…

        Uhmmm , h… mmmmm

      Wit Sam around, he doesn’t NEED to be a self-starter.

        My point.

    Oh, I’d guess he’s manual, not automatic. And probably a bit old to be delivering four on the floor when mattresses are available.

    Technique is everything, got to execute a perfect heel’n’toe when you’re coming out of second and trying to jam it in first. The perfect hee’n’toe: pull her out, pause in between, blip her a little or a lot and slide her home. Works every time, even on cars.

      You been drivin British pieces?
      I found fast footwork could skip that.
      Heh.

        I learned the “art” when the clutch slave cylinder on my 2002 used to go out at 25 below. By the way that reminds me of an over eager girl friend who could row a mean manual box. I called her “slutch.” That might be politically incorrect today but it was said as a high honor for she could shift a Midget in stilettos.

        I did that in my Dad’s ’52 Willys only in hunting boots

        I bet you are a sight in stilettos.

        Stiletto hunting boots, a new trend!

        She can hunt her own bacon…
        Fry it up in a pan.
        Think about the plans she’s makin’…
        For her and her old man.
        A homecooked dinner of hot ham and grits…
        Then love him and kiss him, sending him into fits.
        ‘Cause she’s a woman! W-O-M-A-N, say it again…
        A real woman! W-O-M-A-N!

        Now That is impressive! Midgets were bitches. Of course the ones I encountered were handed down to get rid of them. For some reason girls I knew disdained them.

    Matching nip-slips! 🙂

    And if they’re talking aftermarket manuals, forget about Chilton’s.

    With her recent writing experience and her other experience, I’m thinking Sam would write her own…with a takeoff on the alternate history book and a tie-in to the current theme maybe like Redvolution 8000?

    ‘Cause you know she can rev him up better than anybody.

    Sam could make non-synchro cluster gears mesh beautifully. //// Kudoes to Pam for running a Real Transmission in hunting boots. Just like my Marie (La Peregrina Bonita).
