Sure, there are all sorts of cars in my brother's junkyard that will be around for a long time.

It doesn't mean that the Hillman Minx will be on the road anytime soon though, and gasoline-powered cars will not work without gasoline. I don't think we have 20 years of gas-powered cars in the future. At least we shouldn't.

I'm not talking about junkers. I'm talking about running cars.

this I can completely get behind. Our gas station barely makes a nickel on the gallon. we make more profit from a pack of gum than we do from a gallon of gas. for the most part, we're a convenience store with some pumps outside. I'd love for the gas market to bottom out, but I'm not too optimistic about it.

Yeah, as long as Oil is in charge of everything, we'll use it up until the last drop I'm sure.

right. I can't wait until these assholes get theirs.

I was 18 and living in Albuquerque, NM when I learned to drive a stick. A friend who was a bit older decided we were just gonna go for it, so we got in, he basically made a bunch of innuendo jokes (yeah, handle it real gentle...ease it on in...) and shot up street signs with a paintball gun while I fumbled through it.

I then cut my teeth on a friend's Scirocco. To this day, I freaking love Sciroccos.

A few years later, the woman who would become my wife and I were driving to our first date. We had already "been together" and were basically looking to get away from the scene of the crime. It was a complicated situation and we each were unsure what the other was up to. I had a '91 Sentra automatic and she started giving me shit about having an automatic, that real men drive stick. I said, "Well, with a manual, it wouldn't be as easy to do this..." and took her hand in mine. She blushed. That was some smooth shit on my part.

Anyway, not knowing how to drive a stick is Crap.
