What is it that you enjoy about the stick shift? (I don't know how to drive one, so it's a genuine question.)

First of all it's the raw power in your hands (and feet). Second it's the total control over how your car accelerates. Third its the ability to do some fancy driving (double clutch shifting, down shifting to accelerate, up shifting to just coast, taking corners way too fast popping the clutch and spinning the back wheels just to scare the daylight out of the passengers...ect).

Oh, and I do not plan to teach my kids to drive stick!!! I remember the things I did in High School and there is no way I want them doing those things.

Wanna go for a ride with me?

I will teach you to do a 360 on wet roads and live to tell about it! ;-)

Dry roads are really hard on the tires. I used to "smoke" my back tires, but after replacing them a couple of times I decided that was a bit too expensive.

I like to do all that stuff on snow going downhill in the mountains.

I actually know people that get laundry out of the dryer immediately. I personally think there is a bit of obsessiveness in that behavior. *smile*

yes I wear purple and green with red hair too. and yellow or tan.
purple is known as 'psychic' color. or intuitive.

I cant believe Im goin' to confess, my favorite porn chick is Tori Black.

What an actress!

**Dixie** · 10-07-2011, 11:53 PM

I say, don't let anyone tell you what you should feel. You feel what you feel at any given moment what you are supposed to feel. However, at the same time, I would hope that no matter what you are feeling that you feel better soon!

Sometimes feeling can inspire us to do things we ordinarily wouldn't even consider unless we were feeling something.

Some of the best love songs were written because the writer FELT it themselves. These same songs also have their emotions bleed through to the lyrics and music because the the musician also has felt it.

Other times, the greatest ideas in our time were inspired because some one just felt it.

I just wish that us humans weren't given glass hearts because they break so easily being so fragile. But maybe that's the purpose. Maybe our hearts need to be broken to see what's inside. Often, we find the most amazing beauty and strength we have ever known inside our broken hearts.

Yeah, that's my late night confession.

Mintee · 10-08-2011, 08:27 AM

i confess that i had a weird dream about my ex-boyfriend last night.. in it, he was trying to inject me with heroin and he also tried to force feed me oxycontin. i got scared so i ran outside.. he was chasing me and got really close to me- so i started to fly. i kept trying to fly higher because my ex was trying to grab me. then i felt him grab my ankles..i woke up

I wanna go for a ride!

My father always said he preferred stick over automatic because it makes driving more fun. I really want to learn how to drive a stick.

My brother used to do 360 spins on icy roads when we lived in the countryside. Which was especially innervating considering the road ran parallel to the river, if he was off by a foot or 2...

I like stick shifts too. A lot of my cars were. Now I've an automatic, which is becoming so boring...

I learned how to drive with a stick. All my first cars were stick shift. I enjoyed using a stick on the floor and manual steering with small, sporty cars, especially convertibles. When I had to move up into the "family" car sedans there was no fun in driving stick on the column, so I switched to automatic trans and steering.

deafbajagal · 10-08-2011, 08:09 PM

The first time I drove with a stick was with a group of my hearing friends when we went camping...one guy decided he wanted to teach me how. So he explained it to me...finally I drove. The car was packed with seven people, all who were trying to teach me. I did ok until we got to the hill that leads to the boat dock area...and going downhill freaked me out...then a kid out of nowhere was crossing the road. The next few seconds is still a blur. Somehow the guy took over and managed to save us all, within a few inches of where the boy was.

It was also my last time to ever touch a stick.

deafbajagal · 10-08-2011, 08:17 PM

^ I honestly had forgotten about that. What memories!!! Lol

AlleyCat · 10-08-2011, 08:18 PM

Wow! Glad all turned out okay!

Me too! If my current car was equipped with stick shift, it will make the car feel quicker and more responsive as well.

**Beowulf** · 10-09-2011, 10:56 AM

The car I first learned to drive was a Ford Falcon. It had automatic transmission, of course. It was a fun little car, cherry red.
It makes me sweat to think of the time I floored the gas pedal and drove down the highway at 110 miles an hour while it was raining. Eeek.

Mintee · 10-09-2011, 11:32 AM

i have over 20 perfumes.. will buy anything that smells like flowers

my favorites are sadie and issey mikaye florale. i don't like perfumes that are too 'heavy' or musky

AlleyCat · 10-09-2011, 12:24 PM

Then you'd probably like Paris from Yves Saint Laurent. One of my favs.
