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.

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

Not sure I believe that. Most of them ride motorcycles and drive sports cars. I think the pilots didn’t want the job.
