Manual is over rated anyway

 

says the guy that can't drive one

 

I can
Choose not to

 

I didn't see it so it never happened

 

I can drive one well enough to pick someone up after a walk down a canyon or something


I'll pass otherwise

 

that sounds like Tyler level stick shift skills, I don't think that counts

 

I drop the 2nd gens gears going down switch backs


Does that count

 

Now you sound like the salesman that tried to sell me on an auto trans Tacoma back when I was looking for a manual one

'you can select a lower gear with it!'

 

Dont' even get me started on paddle shifters and whatever the heck lexus does with their shift lever. Bump left and right to switch gears? Thats like...half of a manual.

 

yeah like the 3rd genners on here tryin to justify the auto trans with it's sport mode feature or whatever it is, where you tell it what gear to not exceed

 

if i can't effortlessly roll forward and back at stoplights, don't even talk to me.

 

You should've bought mine. I should've just kept it. Only paid $3k for it.

 

That's a great deal, looks super clean too. 4x4 ones aren't too common around here but I see a handful pop up every now and then, but rarely for less than ~$8k and usually closer to $12k - $15k even with 250k+ miles.

 

This should be useful

 

Finally saw a doctor. They referred me to a specialist and said I most likely will need surgery. Fun times.

Hated the new primary care doc. Dude forgot everything I had told him 2 minutes prior and seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but in that room. Glad there was some progress today on the issue at least.

 

hernia is usually an outpatient procedure, so should be in/out that same day. Least it was for me. The hard part is you can't do anything remotely strenuous for several weeks afterward.

 

On a landcruiser??

 

Mine did... once the top came off

 

Yup. My 04 will likely sit a bit longer due to this. I've given up on anymore races this year after my 60K trail race in July. Might finish Red Dead 2 while I'm down.

 

I say it isn't hyped enough. The difference is night and day
