Good point. Mostly, I like having the control over when it goes vrooooooooOOOOO-ooooooooOOOOO-oooommmmm.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Heavy, slow traffic, NSM.
Another reason I'm not aching to have one.
Nothing, sorry.
You have six months! Plenty of time to acquire and then forget stuff. Hurry!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmmm. I knew some SPSS six months ago that's probably gone now, how about that?

It doesn't seem that bad to me, using the clutch gets to be pretty automatic.

Oh, I like statistics. That could work. We are talking statistics, right?

Gets to be. I'm lazy enough to be happy starting out there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My Friend's mom used to keep a glass of water on her headboard (it was a bookcase-type thing). This was, until her cat started batting it over onto her face when she wanted to play. Every morning.
The cat was involved, but in sleepily picking up the water bottle to prevent him from knocking it off the dresser, I failed to realize that the top wasn't on it.

My leg always gets tired from the stop & go. I've never killed the engine in traffic, but I've had a leg go numb.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I've usually gotten the security deposit back when moving out of a rental, but I don't think I've ever gotten interest. Hmmmm. After 6 years in my current place, I imagine that could buy me a soda or suchlike.
I've had a stick-shift car since 1992. They're nice when driving in the mountains. But switching to an automatic transmission's not fun. I've attempted to hit the clutch and ended up stomping on the brake by mistake.

Yeah, Spearman's rho and whatnot.

I think more than anything, for me it makes me more aware of all the dumbfucks who are rolling up 2 inches. And then another two inches. And then again. Every 20 seconds or so. WHICH ANNOYS ME. Come to a stop at a reasonable distance and stay there. Don't do this slow rolling shit that requires me to pay attention.
They rank up there with the standards on a slight incline who instead of using the brake, play the clutch, rolling back and forth incrementally. USE THE BRAKE.
