You'll let Tessa pick it out, right? ;) And Bookworm over there is young, yes, but definitely not male (she's my sister-in-law).<BR/><BR/>Rob, that's a pretty important lesson, even if it is the only thing you know about cars.<BR/><BR/>Bookworm, I'm afraid that there is a "too old to learn to drive a stick," because that is where I am.

I have driven many stick shifts since then and have no doubt that you could easily learn to drive one. However, they are a royal pain in the ass for older folks with arthritic knees and other issues. I for one would take a stab in the eye with a sharp stick rather than go back to a stick at this juncture of life. In city traffic you are constantly depressing a clutch. PAIN in butt.<BR/><BR/>My apologies to mathgeek who is still young, male and probably has good knee cartilage.<BR/><BR/>~Z~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28955921.post-53815235453351344882008-10-22T11:22:00.000-04:002008-10-22T11:22:00.000-04:00There is no such thing as too old to learn how to ...There is no such thing as too old to learn how to drive stick. A manual transmission is a beautiful thing.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, you could learn in an afternoon. It would be time well spent if such a little thing was the only thing standing between you and your preferred vehicle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28955921.post-39228439389317227102008-10-22T10:02:00.000-04:002008-10-22T10:02:00.000-04:00Don't ask me about cars.

I rode in my cousin's Montana and was impressed by the room and that it got excellent gas mileage. All the seats fold down in back and you have the same room as in the bed of a pickup.<BR/>~Z~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28955921.post-50272081654270130532008-10-21T22:21:00.000-04:002008-10-21T22:21:00.000-04:00And if you can't do the Priapus, I'll let you test...And if you can't do the Priapus, I'll let you test drive my Mazda3 :)Murphy Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088378675343658890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28955921.post-86926114675218319272008-10-21T21:49:00.000-04:002008-10-21T21:49:00.000-04:00Prius.
