Morning everyone. And it is Friday again, can't be over soon enough. But lately instead of TGIF it's SLIF (Sorry Liver its Friday) I'll be working on a cummins thats going into an 87 Silverado for a good part of the weekend and starting the packing and moving process. The gf decided that we needed to live together officially so we got a house that we are renting, which means I have to leave my bachelor pad, but I don't think I will miss it to much.

Have to ask, how do you mistakenly pull an all nighter?

Good morning all, TGIF, SLIF, and any other acronym you can come up with!

Drew, good to see you back around!

I learned how to drive a stick on a 71 International pickup. Big, slab sided sucker. My late stepdad taught me. He said if you could master that truck (with no power steering/brakes), you'd be able to drive anything. He was right!

Like you said, makes you a better driver. Never know when you may have to drive one, also.

Good morning Nebraska, Pat, Gerry, Rob, Mac, Drew, Brandon, Randy and all.
Driving a standard should be a part of a driver's test or Driver's Education. Probably never happen though.
I know Rob still has problems with his

Good morning Nebraska! TGIF@PB! (Thank God It's Friday and Pat's Buying!)


Hey George, no training wheels here, and I mastered driving a stick shift at 14 with my first dirt bike. I just wish you could get a manual tranny these days, not many around anymore. I got 100K miles out of the original clutch on one of my cars...

Morning Rob! Fair enough, come on down! Yeah, stickshifts are getting scarce, except for perfromance cars. Can't even get one in a Super Duty anymore.
