    Stick in a car/pickup is kinda a rarity now. Typically special order or part of a rare package if they are even available.

    The vast majority of drivers, not near retirement age, have never driven a stick.

    Over a decade ago, of the 30 or so of us that made it through the "classroom" part of training only 4 had driven a standard. One of the 4 rode a motorcycle, had not driven a stick.

    We had a few drop out of class cause they were not interested in learning how.

    I'm confident the percentage with experience in a car has dropped even further since then.

    Poor dude was here for one (1) hour and forty five (45) minutes. It was ridiculous. Wasn’t his fault. When I get tired of spectrums bullshat, I’m gonna get a Roku tv and internet from T-Mobile.

    Catastrophic tornado in Kentucky right now.

    Mike should have saved Joey whilst there was still time.

    And the shop has a few new occupants— drill press and table, grinder and brush set up and a vise/stand — it was worth the trip to Rupert
