But can you drive a stick shift?

You have to drive stick shift! And know to check if your rental car requires diesel fuel.

They showed an ad for TAR3 and TAR4 on dvd last night, and it reminded me that my first race was TAR4. Dating virgins! The first gay married couple on the show (IIRC)! Clowns! Nutbunches!!! (Still the best ever episode, with Kelly and Jon losing out on the Fast Forward [feeding fruit to the orangutans!] and then racing to the mat with the virgins in hot pursuit.)

meara, you're an experienced traveler and I think that counts for a lot. But as they say, make sure you know how to drive stick. Er, so to say.

TAR4 was also my first! I still don't follow many reality shows but make a huge exception for this one. Especially because you CAN win the contest w/o being mean, rude or backbiting.

I've never learned to drive a stick shift. I am, at heart, shiftless.

Yes, the plan would be to learn to drive stick, and get in better shape, and do a lot of watching old races and learning geography and shit.

Only I doubt we'd be exciting enough as a team to get chosen. Roommates? Meh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You'd have to be really gay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I suggest you apply as a gay Asian doctor twin teamed with a different twin who is a gay cheerleader and a single mom. You team up because your twins are dating.

Hmm. I guess I would have to go back in time to become a twin (and possibly Asian and/or a cheerleader??)

Somehow "we're roommates! We went to the same high school but never met because she was six years behind me, and she went to prom with my brother! And I'm gay! And she's straight! And a lawyer!" doesn't have quite the same oomph.

On the bright side, you could have "Not Dating!" as the slug line for your team.
