I drove a manual truck today. Am I cool yet

Somewhere along the line, some poor speller confused manual car with man-card.

sorry folks you’re gonna have to wait a while to see the Jurassic Park paint job. My current truck works fine and I don’t see me getting another vehicle for a couple years at least. I do drive an automatic now eheu but I don’t care enough about cool points to buy another car just for the sake of having a manual

Was it a 4WD? If so, you’re cool. Cooler than me at least. I still can’t drive stick.

I drive a manual truck. So, you are almost as cool as a 44 year old fat bald geek. Take care of that stalling thing and you’ll be just as cool as me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Mine is 4WD too, so that wins me some bonus points with tr0psn4j.
Seriously though, congrats. Too many people these days can’t drive a stick. A pansy-ass automatic in a truck or a sports car is just wrong.

I don’t remember if I ever made a Chinese girl with green eyes topic here or not. Someone is either a big fan of me and my topics, or else a John Carpenter fan

PSXer, this is an honest question. How old are you?

When you said driving manual on a truck, I was thinking something like the Deuce-and-a-half (two and a half ton cargo trucK) that I learned how to drive a few months back. Manual transmission, five speed, but the gears are all in the wrong place compared to my Pontiac Grand Am. Thing requires not so much skill as brute force and a durable pair of boots to drive, a robust vocabulary of swearing is helpful.

In short, a truck designed to be driven by poorly educated and careless soldiers using something they didn’t pay for. :smiley:

Good grief, women get their cards every 28 days.

I am 20 so I have had about 5 years experience with automatic and 30 minutes with manual

Check your first thread – you know, the first one that was locked.

I can drive stick, and I can fly stick and rudder and roll around a point, thanks to Duane Cole and “Pops” Mercotan.

I don’t know if that’s cool or not, but I do know I’m so hip I can hardly see over my pelvis.

Congratulations! Now you’re as cool as every farm kid that I grew up with.

Driving a manual is a basic skill that many people don’t have. Good on you for aquiring it.

His threads like this are obviously a joke. He’s made the same type of joke before. He’s happy he learned to do something, and is playing on the idea that it somehow makes him cool.

I know most of you get it, but some of you don’t seem like it.

Oh, and I agree that you really can’t say you know how to drive one until you aren’t stalling a lot. But once you get that down, you’re hella cool.
