    Tire thumper to your left leg and you couldn't use the clutch if you wanted to.

    Looks like he's driving a 10 speed though, so he lost all credibility with me. I don't care how big his visor is!

    Super trucker: "You ain't a man unless you drive a manual."

    Me: "I can put my auto in manual mode."

    Super trucker: "Yeah but, you ain't a man unless you shift without the clutch pedal!"

    Me: "I don't use a clutch pedal either."

    Super trucker: [brain explodes]

    Yep, looks like a 6-10 Road Ranger. Put the vast majority of my miles under my belt with those. My favorite though was the 18sp, followed close behind by the ‘Super 10’.

    Not a super trucker, dont care what you drive. Long as you get it down the road safely. I've never used a clutch in 45 years. Wouldn't know how to.
