The driver, 50-year-old Robert J. Guarini, told cops he lost control after downshifting while leaving his housing development at around 6 p.m, a police report says.

50 years old and doesn't know how to drive a stick shift?

He should have practiced on something less expensive.

My dad taught my sister in an old Toyota Corona. My sister taught me. I MiSS a stick shift. Especially when the tranny would go out. Half a day I can have a new clutch put in my old pickup. With my last SUV, the auto tranny went out and it was going to be about $5000 for a rebuilt. Screw that. The only thing O have seen with a manual are the occasional Jeep Rubicon but I am not paying that much for a Jeep. Oh well. We will all be forced to ride electric trollies soon enough when gasoline is outlawed.

I’m a lot older and have only driven a stick once. The best I can say is that there were no fatalities.
