My son deployed with his squadron to a base in Saudi TDY last year. There was equipment left in place, including trucks with manual transmissions. All those F-15 pilots and he was the only one who could drive a manual.

I have been hearing the term lately "Millenial anti-theft system."

This Millennial grew up watching her dad drive a stick every summer (the car was garaged the rest of the year), and happily got a Ford Probe going as if I’d been doing it for a long time the first time I actually drove a stick.

Driving dad’s car, though... Even with the seat totally forward, my toe barely touched the clutch, and I was in combat boots (they gave me an extra few inches). Third was also a bit sticky.

I’d never been so embarrassed in my life.
