Last stick shift car I had was a gen2 Toyota mr-2. Gowd, I miss that car. :cry:

I came home from yesterday's ride and have been hungry continually. I think I might have just sated it with the leftover carrot/beet salad from dinner.
Hmmm. I see it shows this as a quote. I distinctly hit the reply to thread button. This has happened before

We are not having a cooler summer, as I prognosticated earlier. The temperatures are indeed normal, but it feels cooler. Perhaps I have finally acclimated.

Honda has a six speed stick, but the gear ratios are so skewed that it is tough(and not worth it)to figure out. The automatic we have in our Fit has far more pick-up than any car I've ever owned, or rented.

I ride all year which means wet, snow, ice, salt, you name it.

dust?

The last stick shift car I bought was a MK7 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. :)

Was the tuition that bad?

internstional students failing classes.

It wasn't my last stick shift but it was hands down my favorite stick, a '77 Celica with the legendary 22R engine. :love:

Battaglin Update - I know you were all just DYING for this!!!

Before this afternoon's ride, I rotated the bars down a fair bit. Rode 4 miles with them like that, but that was too far. So I rotated them up a bit and rode another 4 miles. Rotated them up just a smidge, and that was much better. They're still rotated a bit relative to their starting point, and I think I'll stop there.

The thing is, there's a gorge between Collegetown (the area where a lot of students live) and campus, and you have to cross a bridge over it to get to campus.

Do you draw the line at murder Hornets?

Show us your work.

My friend had an electric Fit. You can't buy them, only lease. He renewed the the lease and had 140,000 miles when he turned it in. He was extremely happy with it, he has a long commute and replaced it with an electric Hyundai.
He leased a hydrogen powered Toyota for his wife and it's been nothing but trouble.

the last time you posted that picture, you obscured the face to avoid rath. I believe that is your ex?. Might want to reassess.

mine was a 2003 Chevy S-10. It was red but it was a plain Jane. I enjoyed that truck.

you're bossy. Are all fluglehorn players this bossy? Discuss.

You know, I remember thinking about posting it but I thought I had reconsidered at the time. This time I just doubt she'll ever see it, so screw it.

I had a 1986 S-10 Blazer for 18 years. 5 speed 4wd. Totally neglected it for years and sold it with nearly 300,000 miles. Paid $2800 for it.:)
Had a Tercel 4wd wagon with a 6 speed with granny low. Used the granny to push a couple cars on snow and ice.
Had a 1947 Chevy Fleetmaster. They had 3 on the tree with a vacuum booster on the shifter to make the shifter easy to move.

I also had an '83 Chevy Cavalier station wagon which was a great bike hauling car.

In ~1980 I also had a 1943 CJ-2 or 3 Jeep which had a top speed of 45 and could get 15 mpg if I was easy on the gas pedal.

Do you disinfect or clean the bikes first?

Old School, point the bar ends to the rear brake (break) calipers.

In 1972 I had a 1958 International Harvester panel truck. It would go 55 but that was pushing it. It must have had a 4:56 differential or something.

@Velo Vol is shaking his head right now.

time to ride before the rain.

I may have wrecked a car or 2, but I also ha to buy my own vehicles.

What about molten lava? :D

Same as did my son.

Luckily, we have no molten lava around me that I know of. :D

My dad taught me to drive standard in a 72 Dodge Tradesman panel van.
Taght all my kids with a 84 Ford Ranger 4 speed, the clutch took a beating but survived.
The last standard I owned was a 2000 Dodge Ram with a 5 speed. 1st gear was great for hauling the boat out of the lake

My last stick was a 1988 Nissan 4wd king cab pickup. I drove it to Belize, in 2001, and left it there. That was that truck's second trip to Belize, now that I think about it. It used to feel like such an adventure to drive all the way across Mexico. Not so much anymore.
