They say manual shift is the new antitheft security......I guess that’s right.

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.

How many would know how to drive a car with three on the tree?

How many heavy equipment thieves would know how to start and run a old cat dozer with the pony engine start? Hand clutch, lever clutch steer with the foot pedal brakes?

In a few decades, a non-self-driving car will give you security from theft.

Has been for a while.

Thankful that all in our immediate family are familiar. 😁
