What's on your mind?

[TheGirlOnFire]

I don't know if I was living under a rock as a kid or something. I missed out on all these classic movies. It will take me a lifetime to catch up. Good thing they aren't making classic-worthy movies anymore like they used to lol

You better get started Old movies are the best... they don't make them the way they use too.. Though I do think the marvel films are better....

If there were any power in positive thinking, the world would be a much better place.

What profit is there in professing disapproval on a given issue when I do not take vigil in prayer and fasting against the issue? What profit is there in hating the concept of sin when I still cherish and nurture my own?

Note to self: Pray more. Practice repentance once rather than acknowledging my sins over and over under the guise of 'asking forgiveness'; understand that disapproval is not tantamount to constant prayer.

Other thoughts...it's strange living in someone's house while they're gone.

Well being a scot my dear, I have no idea what a standard is ?

I have no idea what you look like, so how would I know if you look like Miss Daisy (Whoever she is lol)

Well, a standard/manual car is one where the driver selects the gears the car is in. 1,2,3,4, R in older cars, 1-5(sometimes6)R in more modern cars consisting of the gear shift and an extra pedal known as the clutch (to engage and disengage gear selection). Most people drive automatics which the car selects gear and all the driver must do is mash their foot on the gas.

Manual transmission vehicles are safer as the driver controls the movements of the car. Unlike automatic transmissions that driver and passenger are at the mercy of an electronic never malfunctioning.

Manual transmissions, in general are also faster and less wasteful and require less maintenance. They also "require" footwork (both feet and hands to operate. 1 foot for the clutch, one for the gas/brake. One hand on the wheel, the other on the gear shifter.)

I shave my head and I look like an albino ninja turtle.

Is a standard a manual?

Automatics are funny beasts.

Yes, "standard" = "manual"

I think it's the opposite here. Most people drive manuals, or at least they did. Automatics generally attract a very select group of drivers. In my completely biased experience.

Thanks for the support team!

He's not nasty or anything, just oblivious. Typical, eh?

Anyway. I know I've seen Goonies but I don't remember it much.

Kerry - Put the phone down, play it cool!

Not here, most people will looks at the car like its broken if its got 3 pedals and a gear shift.

My parents FORCED me to learn Manual because they said "If you can drive Manual, you can drive anything."

Now, its the only thing I will drive. Automatics are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring.

Pretty much. We were dirt poor. Lived in a shack in the woods, so there were a lot of sticks to rub together

So how do you know he likes your friend ? Does your friend know you like him ?

I'm fairly clueless as well if a girl is interested in me. She practically has to slap me upside the face or something haha

 

[TheGirlOnFire]

Here in Scotland most people drive manual.

I can only drive a automatic, which means people make jokes about it saying I can't really drive

 

[Tess]

I don't think he knows but I'm confident he wouldn't be interested. My friend on the other hand... he's super keen.
But nevermind, totally don't care!

 

[Saucy]

Maybe he is into you, but is getting close to your friend to get to you? So you interpret that as him being into her???

 

[Tess]

No really. Trust me, he likes her, it's not an elaborate plan. haha! Thanks anyway

Awww, Id teach you how to "really drive" if you lived closer to me. It's more intimidating than it is hard. The basics are simple, however there are techniques to driving a manual that get more complex, but the basics are pretty simple if you don't let it intimidate and allow for practice.

man this thread is blowing up

 

[Tess]

I know right, Rhamiel?!

We must all be like, so cool and popular

I can drive a manual, I did driving lessons for 2 years in one, I failed my first test... I really need to drive so couldn't afford to fail the second time so sat my automatic...


I think you just want to take me out for a ride

 

[Tess]

I'm terrible at parking. Like, atrocious.

This evening I parked in a bay in a car park and it took me like 4 pivots to get it in and straight. #ashamed
