  6. A beautifully preserved VW Beetle at the Longmont car show. That headlight, chrome bumper, and subtle pinstriping all hit just right.

  11. Guess I'm now a member of the manual car transmission club. :3

    My wife and I bought a used 2011 Ford Ranger XLT last night and I had to drive it home since my wife was too skittish with the transmission. It was a "trial by fire" for me since I'd never driven stick before, but we got home without any incidents aside from a small number of stalls.

    It's kind of wild that even a "normal" car with stick feels better to drive than an automatic one. You don't need a sports car! Compared to automatic, the throttle feels much more "connected" to the wheels. The salesperson (who mainly drives stick) said it was the lack of the "torque converter bounce".

    Just like when I learned to ride a motorcycle, there was a learning curve, but the rewards are so gratifying! :D Honestly, after getting the muscle memory from driving home, the only thing that really jumps out to me as being different is the behavior of the synchronizers.

    For those who don't know, motorcycles most often use a sequential non-synchronous transmission, but some companies have automatic offerings now. Oh, and the vast majority of motorscooters use a CVT.

  15. A Mazda MX-5 Miata RF enjoying a well-earned pause in the Colorado high country. Clean lines, light weight, and just enough power to make every curve matter.

    Where would you take a car like this for a perfect morning drive?

  20. A few years ago I taught a friend’s kid how to drive a manual transmission. Had a WRX and a 92 Miata at the time so he got to drive both of them.
    Today I got a text from him letting me know he’s buying his first car with a manual. It’s an Impreza.
    I’m so proud right now.

  29. a study commissioned by Cadillac revealed that 66% of American adults knew how to drive a manual transmission. This finding came ahead of the launch of the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing sport sedans, which featured a six-speed manual as standard. Interestingly, the study also showed that 55% of respondents had owned or leased a manual transmission car at least once, and 40% of those who couldn't drive stick expressed interest in learning.

  33. Apparently, her car's reverse gear was located differently from what I knew. I thought they were all the same. Really, really thankful that she used those rocks as stoppers or else I would have definitely hit the wall. 🤦‍♂️

    After she taught me where the reverse gear was, I was finally able to get her car out of the inclined parking lot. Whew!

    #LessonLearned: check the gear pattern first before driving somebody else's manual car. (2/2)

  34. I don’t want a crossover, nor pickup, nor SUV, but clearly I’m in what I’d call a niche market of small cars. On top of that, I only want #StickShift cars, and the total number of models of #ManualTransmission cars sold in the US can be counted on two hands. Given their sales, the fact that *any* are available in the US is kind of incredible.
