Love these classically trained manual shirts. I’m seeing on Facebook. I just told my three stick ship driving youngins to pick their color and size Options

Not sure if you’ve seen these cool shirts that celebrate our love of the manual transmission. I love them. No affiliation. My three daughters have been taught the Jedi skill.

The least I can do is buy them these shirts today. Got 15% off plus when you buy three you get free shipping lol but true. I probably should buy my mom one too. She always wants to drive Lilly‘s 914.

My brother and I rode dirt bikes for a short time so we were pretty familiar with a clutch and timing. When Dad taught us to drive stick shift I was about 12 and my brother was about 14. He took us to the Rio Hondo JC parking lot in our 1972 Pinto runabout— brought himself a six pack of beer and let us go to town lol but true.

@914xr75 ** Rio Hondo in the summer time is a dry river bed and when my biz was in So. El Monte, we took the 3.2L Syncro Vanagon down in there (approx where the RC planes fly) for pics / magazine articles. Both 'VW & Porsche and 'Hot VWs did stories on the van. Today the Whittier Narrows park ranger would lock us up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@malltese falcon Back in 1976 I used to fly my foam .049 engined rc plane over your photo shoot. I probably didn’t spoil your shoot, I would usually crash down to earth a few seconds after takeoff. Lol.

That's an awesome TEE ! sidenote: there is a 'Blonde joke about that dimmer switch activation during a gal's DMV driving test ...but best to discuss in the 'Sandbox ¡¡

At age 10/12 kid... the 'Cox (brand) model plane flying was pre-RC...on a string control (flaps). I would use the local HS parking lot on Sunday AM and I could spin in a circle usually 12-15 orbits before fuel ran out and glided her in.
Best plane to fly was Cox JU-87 Stuka (dive bomber) which had an extra hand control for jettison of the small plastic shaped tube w/ fins (bomb): and when the model plane box was flipped over= target bullseye was printed there. What a hobby that was, never cut a finger on prop start up, and the scent of 'Thimble-drone fuel...still dizzy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
