Hell of a morning. Old lady stalled her car in the road and I had to help her find reverse on the hire car…. Traffic backed up and much honking of horns.Why would a garage give her a stick shift to replace her automatic car? Asking for trouble..
Bitcoin might not solve this but ranting about it is making me feel better!
No one in the U.S. can drive a manual transmission anymore. My wife and I are the exception. Parking attendants make me park my old Toyota myself.

I miss driving a stick transmission...much more control of the vehicle. One time I had to drive a "3-in-the-tree" (three gears with gearshift on the steering column). Talk about an odd feeling and grinding those gears!

My first car was a double de-clutch manual transmission. That would blow peoples mind these days!
