yeah no matter how sore my calf gets I would find automatic too boring. Plus I like being able to downshift in an emergancy.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't find sticks in traffic annoying so much as I can kind of zone some of the annoyance away when I am in consistently slow traffic in an automatic. Which, okay, written out makes me look kinda crazy.

Kat, that'd be awesome! Thanks for the offer!

No problem. Plus my car, in it's tinyness, has a short throw in the gear shift, so it's pretty easy to learn on.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yeah, I learned how to drive in rush hour traffic on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Was this in High School, Kristin? Where did you go? I'm curious because I went to Hunter but for Driver's Ed we went to one of the local prep schools (Dalton, maybe?).

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Now I feel left out. I don't drive. I don't think I trust myself with a lumpy chunk of speeding metal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait, Kristen, was that a real-life question for real? I totally assumed it was for Professional Research. You know, for TV's hit Drive.

Kristen, the only thing about Kat is she turns the car off crazee.

I do not! It turns itself off... it's like a neat party trick.

Now I'm trying to remember if we had, like, BOYS in our Drivers Ed classes. I think we might've and I just blocked it out.
