  • Sure. It dropped in.
  • No. What happened happened. Tough luck.
  • If we’re playing for money, absolutely not. If we’re just playing, it’s not worth arguing over.

Do you know how to drive a “three on the tree” transmission? ETA: Maybe it would have been better to include a link to the definition rather than include the “I don’t know what that means” option, but now it’s too late to edit the poll.

  • Yes, in practice. I have driven one before.
  • In theory. I’ve never driven one, but I’ve driven other kinds of manual transmission vehicles, and I know the shift pattern, so I think I could drive one if I had to.
  • No, while I can drive other manuals, I wouldn’t have a clue how to drive a three on the tree
  • No, because I can’t drive a manual transmission at all
  • I don’t know what a “three on the tree” is
