I just successfully drove a manual for the first time without stalling once. I taught myself how to do it- I have been working as a valet for about 4 months and kinda taught myself on a few cars. An audi a4, pontiac solstice gxp, toyota yaris, honda cr-v, and my most sucessful drive a few days ago in a scion xb. It was probably not the most ethical thing to do using other peoples cars to teach myself with, but I always got another person to drive it if i stalled it more than once trying to move at first. And after I parked that scion and also when I retrieved it, I had the biggest smile on my face. I love driving a manual.

The "Goat Trail". Route 6 / 202 in New York between the Bear Mtn. bridge and Peekskill. It's pretty terrifying during rush hour with its blind curves and giant trucks going 40 around them. It's on the edge of a cliff about 200-400 feet above the Hudson river. I thought it was a nickname my dad had come up with, but about a year ago, I saw an electric road work sign that said "Goat Trail closed tomorrow for construction 7-10am". It didn't even say the actual route name for the road, which probably confused out of towners. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&am...

Most of those were proudly assembled at the beautiful GM Tarrytown Truck Assembly in New York. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarrytown_Truck_Asse...

It's now a large open concrete space next to the Hudson bisected by train tracks though. http://www.gmsalariedretirees.com/GMplantHistory....

Nice, but I absolutely hate red interiors. Also, to be fair, the 2008 Ford E-350 vans still had the pull switch headlamp controls. Needless to say, it confused the hell out of me for a few minutes after driving late model Chevy Express vans with a regular twist switch.

"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!"

I feel like i need some Penicillin just from looking at that....but, it would totally be worth the pain.

I just saw, and drove behind one of these on the Palisades Parkway a few days ago. That exhaust note is like sex with a supermodel.

The new (2007-current) Chevy Silverado's and Express' with the Duramax have a unique "PRNDM" setup with a rocker switch on the column shifter to shift manually.
