    It's a losing arguement. There's no win here.

    I tweaked my left knee bad enough to not even be able to walk on it. Still, the Taco was no issue to drive.


    I can't imagine what folks do when they hurt their right leg?

    Steering wheel controls for people with disabilities. Somewhere there has to be somebody that’s done a pedal-to-paddle clutch conversion. Put the paddle on the shifter and a servo on the slave cylinder.

    So, an SMG gearbox for the Taco?

    I had a broken left humerus and I drove in the snow, in a front wheel drive car, manual transmission, no power steering. Mostly cuz no one else could decipher the gearbox. It was a process to turn a corner.

    Nice!

    My wife drove our car with a blown steering rack for 3mo, while pregnant. To this day, I'm surprised I never got a going-into-labor call because it. We thankfully replaced that PoS a couple months before our baby arrived.

    I love my manual trans. better all around it feels like the truck was made to be manual. You can't beat it in the snow with the ability to up shift as needed or down shift as needed also the clutch cancel button for emergencies is another great option you can use the starter motor while in first gear 4wheel hi or low to get out of a tight situation.

    Upon further review, the ruling on the field has been changed.... BigBue losses posession of the fake shortbed on the 2014 Tacoma. radclerk1 firmly pointed out that there is no such thing, therefore, radclerk takes over on downs at BigBue's 10-yard line. First and goal.....

    "Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin, into the future". God it sucks getting old, the first thing to go is the memory. Lol. Ok Vic you got me on one minor technicality. I really thought it was a shortbed. Maybe now it's not so unicorn. Lol.

    I'm going to throw up in my mouth if I recall the Jimmy Buffet concert and not because of that Malibu Rum

    Edit, it was in Camden NJ, that's why

    So much this ^. It's been 17 years since my last manual. Yes, in Phx stop and go traffic it's not fun, but otherwise it is somewhat cathartic. The chrome in the beard might have a thing or three to do with driving a bit more intentional (slower has such negative connotations, with more intention is distinguished)
