    Now I know that is a race car. But a former g/f friend of mine, when I taught her how to shift a manual, I'd tell her to NEVER hit the red line.

    Some how, she must have misunderstood me.

    EVERY FREAKING SHIFT was just at or above red line.

    My poor little Pinto, took the beating, but I couldn't.

    I miss her however.



    The Pinto that is..!!

    If your class was anything like mine, you were in it with a bunch of idiots that thought north was whatever direction the arrow was pointing when they opened a map. Our instructor actually had to bring in a compass for one special idiot that flunked out.

    Buy some chewing gum.

    Practice walking while chewing the gum at the same time.
